Patio season is among us and take-out cocktails are in! If there’s ever been a better time to master your mixology skills, it’s now. Just because you can’t sit at a bar it doesn’t mean the bar cannot come to you. 

Many local restaurants are open and ready to setup you up for success in your mixology and bartending journey at home!

LOCAL

If you’ve ever been to Local, then you’re definitely familiar with their ever-rotating taps, and as much as we’re all sad not to be able to dine-in, we’re happy to still be able to take-out and take advantage of their rotating weekly bar deals. 

The Local Corner Store & Offsales offers a variety of different take-out options. This week for $56 you can pick-up everything you need to make the perfect Moscow Mule. Your kit includes Tito’s Vodka, Fever Tree Ginger Beer, and fresh lime.

Not a cocktail person? Their menu also offers a wine, cups, & games combo, and 6-packs of beer or cider. Basically, everything you could possibly need on a sunny summer afternoon. 

Visit their website for weekly updated specials. They offer delivery and 10% off pick-up orders.

THE CRAFT

Not everyone wants to be a mixologist, lucky for us the folks at The Craft get that. They’re keeping their take-out menu nice and simple for us by offering cold cans for take-out. No matter if you’re a stout, lager, or pilsner type of person they have a beer option for you, and for the wine lovers out there, add a bottle to your dinner order for two!

Check their take-out menu for their most-up-to-date rotating take-out cans. 

BIG ROCK BREWERY

Craving some Big Rock beer? You can now order their brews for take-out. Pick-up a couple of cans of their Traditional Ale, Citradelic, Grasshopper, Pilsner, or Rhine Stone Cowboy to go. Are one of you a craft beer junky and the other a wine lover? Not to fear you can also pick-up sparkling, white, and red wine to go with your dinner.
