This is a friendly OnMilwaukee PSA for those of you interested in getting a head start on making next week event better.
Tuesday, Feb. 22 just happens to be National Margarita Day, so it only makes sense you'd celebrate the occasion with an agave-based beverage.
Blue Bat Kitchen & Tequilaria, 249 N. Water St., is making the process all-too-easy with a day-long celebration.
From 11 a.m. to close, they'll be rolling out the tequila barrels with $4 House 'Ritas, plus double loyalty points all day long for dine-in orders when you are a member of Blue Bat’s Preferred Guest Loyalty
Program (it's free; just sign up online). There will also be complimentary tequila tastings and giveaways throughout the day.
If you get there early, you might even get a free mini 'rita. They're giving them away to the first 100 guests to step over the tequilaria's threshhold for dine-in service. Reservations are highly recommended and can be made at bluebatkitchen.com.
So have fun. Celebrate. And be safe everyone.
