by | Mar 27, 2017 | GOOD EATS

It’s Monday and rainy and you might be feeling a bit blue, but Metzger Bar and Butchery has an event tonight that will take you away to paradise, well temporarily that is.

The Church Hill restaurant will host “Iki Kai“, a Hawaiian-influenced pop up tonight featuring tropical cocktails from Brandon Peck of The Roosevelt and James Kohler of the upcoming Brenner Pass and poke (raw fish salad) from Chef Brittanny Anderson.

Guests will also get to try a special early release of The Veil Brewing Co.’s Never Aloha,a Hawaiian Punch-inspired Gose with Passionfruit, pineapple, mango, blood orange, and cherry purée.

The brewery will debut the brew tomorrow.

Pop-up starts at 5 pm. No reservations. 801 N. 23rd St.

Starting at 5 until we run out! No reservations
