We all know "The economy is in shambles". But you needn’t plan to drink three bottles of champagne and hang out with a stray dog under a bridge.
In fact, for three whole days this March, you’ll be able to let go of your worries and enjoy the sunshine at Lost Whale, 2151 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. That’s because, for the fifth year, the renowned Bay View cocktail bar will pull out all the stops for its annual Paddy’s Pub pop-up, which will take place Thursday, March 14 through Sunday, March 17.
As usual, guests will find the bar all decked out for the occasion, complete with narcissistic, sociopathic bartenders, green and gold fringe garlands, and a life-sized Instagram-ready cardboard cut-out of former real estate mogul and sweatshop operator, Frank Reynolds.
Please note that, due to a much-needed vent-cleaning, there will be no access to Charlie's "bad room" during the festivities.
However, you will find plenty of Sunny-themed cocktails, showcasing Lost Whale’s classic “land to sea craftsmanship”, including:
- Riot Juice: They traded out the Everclear for vodka, Jagermeister and freshly pressed passionfruit juice in this refreshing punch.
- Fight Milk: Specially formulated to assist you in fighting like a crow! The drink includes Irish whiskey, coffee liqueur, Irish cream, bitters, and a sustaining, high crowtein garnish of cookie crisp cereal.
- Intervention! Intervention!: Pair with jorts for better range of motion. The drink is comprised of Odyssea Spiced Peach Red Sangria served over ice in a Diet Coke can
- Caribbean Paradise: Some people say it’s better than busting a nut; it also pairs well with the spider song. This personal fishbowl is filled with rum, vodka, Blue Curacao, lime, pineapple, almond orgeat and bitters.
- Charlie Catches a Leprechaun:
- Rock, Flag & Eagle: This riff on a classic Manhattan is bold and flavorful
