SPRING COMES TO BAY RIDGE & YELLOW HOOK....

April 3rd, 2014.  As we shake off what's (hopefully) left of this crazy winter, we finally look forward to one of the things that makes Yellow Hook Grille unique: The Patio.

I've been here for about a month now and that's all I've been hearing about is "The Patio, the Patio, oh I can't wait to sit out by the patio!".  Granted, by all accounts, the patio is impressive in size, especially for Brooklyn, where real estate is at a premium.  And while I did get a glimpse of what the possibilities are with this space during the recent Bay Ridge St. Patrick's Day Parade, I want to see for myself what the "patio scene" is really all about.  My gut feeling is that the reality will indeed match the hype, but I still want to see it for myself.  In other words, Bay Ridge, show me what you got. ;)

As the weather warms up, we've begun prepping the patio for full service.  The phone's already ringing off the hook with inquiries about the patio.  Right now, the patio is open for session drinking and we look to have full-service up and running shortly (inquire with the hostess when you arrive).

Speaking of warm weather, this weekend is shaping up to be a beautiful one and we are going to take full advantage of it!  Starting with our "Weekend Kick-Off" on Friday, we'll serve up $4 domestic drafts, well drinks and wine (4pm -7pm), and whatever happens after that?  Who knows!

SATURDAY is FINAL FOUR SATURDAY, and we're set for a great double-header, starting with UCONN vs FLORIDA (6pm), followed by KENTUCKY vs WISCONSIN (8:50pm).  We're serving up a special on Heineken/ Heineken Light buckets... with a twist!

Purchase a bucket of Heineken/Heineken Light (5/$20), and you'll get a raffle ticket, good for a chance to win our "VIP National Championship Game Experience" on Monday night.  This "Experience" entitles you and five of your friends to join us for the Big Game, where you'll get your own VIP table, complete with wings and buckets of Heineken or Heineken Light!  Afterwards, you'll even get to take home your own Fender Guitar, courtesy of Heineken!

SUNDAY is "Sunday Funday, Bay Ridge Style", where we start things off with our famous Sunday Brunch, complete with Bloody Mary's, mimosas and Amstel Radler shandies, which goes perfectly for daytime session drinking (and at a paltry 2% ABV, perfect for an afternoon of gossip-brunching without worrying about being tossed into a cab).

Later in the day, stick around for a live music set by the KINGS COUNTY RAMBLERS,  always a crowd favorite!  Start time: 4pm. No cover charge.

This is just the start of what should be a whirlwind of activity in and around Yellow Hook.  We have some big events planned in the near future, including a MAJOR event scheduled for the end of the month!  Come back here over the weekend for the scoop!  And don't forget, we're making final preparations and taking reservations for EASTER SUNDAY (April 20, 2014)!  We have a great menu planned for that day, so leave the apron at home and make plans to spend Easter with us!

So keep checking in and as always, for the most up-to-date information on news and events of the 'Hook, check our Twitter and Facebook pages.

And FINALLY.... CONGRATULATIONS to our own Bay Ridge, Brooklyn on landing the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival, slated to run May 7-11, 2014!  Hollywood comes to the neighborhood this Spring!  Make sure you get a chance to support this great event!


Cheers!
