DrinkAbout!

Wondering what to do tonight, Wednesday October 19th?
May we suggest heading down to the Ritual Tavern for a freshly tapped CASK of Green Flash Brewing Co. '30th Pale Ale'* $4 a pour while it lasts.

You'll probably want to pair it with a hearty dinner of fresh mussels, Shepherd's Pie, seafood bouillabaisse or a vegan lentil burger before you start your DrinkAbout bus tour of North/South Park & University Heights.

DrinkAbout
On the 3rd Wedneday of each month, 2 "Brewery Tours of SD" Busses loop for 4 hours, stopping at 9 craft-beer bars. Hop on and off FOR FREE at Blind Lady, Small Bar, Live Wire, Toronado, Ritual Tavern, Eleven, Sea Rocket, The Station & Hamilton's. The busses leave Ritual Tavern every half hour starting at 7:20pm, last one at 11:20pm headed north to Blind Lady by way of Eleven.

*"30th Street Pale Ale is a strong pale ale that is well dry-hopped making it taste like an IPA by many hop head’s standards. The beer was brewed to recognize the synergy behind the craft beer culture on 30th Street in San Diego and was released for the Green Flash 6th Anniversary Celebration." http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/green-flash-30th-street-pale-ale/95785/91141/

Heaven Sent Desserts - Is it from Heaven or is is from H--l ...?

An all time favorite at Heaven Sent Desserts is the special offering for the 30th on 30th this month! The heavenly Bourbon Street Bread Pudding is the richest, the tastiest, the most scrumptious bread pudding you have ever tasted.

It is moist, it is flavorful, it has texture (being made from flaky buttery croissants it has the lightest texture - none of that stodginess of other puddings ...) and it has that temptation sauce from ... we are not sure ... which puts the finishing touch (and kick) on this true New Orleans Bourbon Street Bread Pudding!

And, just for you the price will be $5.25 instead of the usual $7.00 - so bring your best friends, your date and yourself, then indulge!

South Park Walkabout Tonight 3/26

March-ing on 30th St

The Ritual Tavern has been a St. Patrick’s Day destination since we opened, so we’re ready for anything this Thursday. We have lots of Niman Ranch Beef Brisket Corning. The beef will braise with Suzie’s Farm Organic Fingerling Potatoes and Cabbage for a traditional Corned Beef plating with a Ritual twist.

St. Patrick's Day revelry is always fun, but remember you can have a relaxed and eventful experience the day before as well. If you were to visit the Ritual tonight, for example, you might enjoy locally caught Corvina Fish and Chips, or our signature Shepherd’s Pie, paired with Avery Out of Bounds Stout, or Stone Levitation Amber Ale. Both of those beers are HAPPY HOUR ALL NIGHT! The DrinkAbout Bus runs TONIGHT WEDNESDAY 3/16, you can hop aboard FOR FREE and visit another neighborhood bar (or two) a day before the big crowds converge.

We OPEN at NOON on WEEKENDS, NOW SERVING BRUNCH :-)
Open at 4:30 during the week! (We're still closed on Mondays.)

Later in March watch for Cask Conditioned Manzanita Ale on our beer engine. We're making plans to celebrate Earth Day, April 22nd, with rare Eel River Organic Ales and another one of our famously delicious Brewer's Dinners.
