For just $20, you’ll get 2 pitchers of cheer to celebrate the rare overlap of Mexico\'s & America’s heaviest-drinking May traditions. The Long Island City beer palace is blowing out their garden to celebrate, and invites you to do the same with a pair of pitchers full of your choice of domestic drafts, mint juleps, margaritas, or Red Stag iced tea, a summery drink that’ll nevertheless have you cherry-bombed.
The party will rage all day with live DJs, door prizes & giveaways (position yourself to win them by rocking the most absurd sombrero or bonnet you can find), plus all-day specials on juleps & margs. And of course, they’re broadcasting the Running of the Roses on a massive screen on their outdoor patio -- where you\'ll be pulling for Ignacio whether he\'s racing or not.
