ST. PATRICK'S DAY COUNTDOWN

After enduring what can safely be called the WORST winter in several years, there's finally light at the end of the tunnel.  For starters, it's OFFICIALLY the last weekend of winter (and not a moment too soon).  Spring finally makes its appearance on March 20th, 2014.  And I'm sure I speak for all of you in saying "GOOD RIDDANCE"!

That being said, it's also the official start of the St. Patrick's Week.  Yeah, I know most of you thought I made a typo.  Not at all.  If this was Manhattan, then yes, I would say St. Patrick's Day.  But since we're NOT in Manhattan, but in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, St. Patrick's Week is indeed the correct term.


We kick things off with our countdown to St. Patrick's Day weekend, with celebrations taking place all weekend long.  Think of it as a "dress rehearsal" for what's to come on Monday, March 17th when the big parade takes place in Manhattan.  There will be plenty of Guinness and 2 Gingers Irish Whiskey to go around, as well as a killer playlist to get you in the mood to show off your Irish pride, even if you aren't.

On the big day itself, Yellow Hook Grille will open its doors at 10am!  We'll serve up a special St. Patrick's Day menu that will help get you in the mood to celebrate the Marching of the Green!

For those of you not making the trek into Manhattan, we'll carry the parade live on our many large screened TV's! So while you won't be there "physically", you'll still feel as if you were part of the fun.  And of course, for those of you who do make it into the city for the big parade, you know we'll be here to help you continue celebrating when you return to Bay Ridge!  There will be plenty of Guinness to go around and we are expecting an appearance from the beautiful ladies of 2 Gingers Irish Whiskey and you can be sure they will spread plenty of cheer!

We're expecting nothing less than a great day of fun! So bring your "A" game, because we are definitely bringing ours!  Oh, and just when you thought you finally recovered from all of the shenanigans of Monday's celebration, just think of it as a trial run as we do it all over again when we celebrate the 20th Annual Bay Ridge St. Patrick's Day Parade on Sunday, March 23rd!

BREAKING NEWS.... The long-awaited YELLOW HOOK GRILLE tee shirts are finally in!  This year's edition comes in Carolina Blue with a navy blue trim and orange highlights.  These tees are available in medium, large and extra large and each shirt comes with a matching pint glass!  Shirts will be available for purchase this weekend for only $15! (limited quantities, so act fast)

AND FINALLY... NCAA Championship Week continues today with a huge slate of games and we will continue to provide coverage of all of the important tournament games throughout the day.  While you're here, make sure to take advantage of our "Championship Week" special ($4 Blue Point Toasted Lager, Brooklyn Pennant Ale & Goose Island Honkers Ale) during all NCAA Championship Week games!

That's it!  Looking forward to kicking off St. Patrick's Week with you!


Cheers!
