Can Happy Hour get any happier?

Unlimited sangrias on the rooftop.

Did that get your attention?  Maybe it is just my own particular thirst for chilled and fruity wine, but for me that was one of the most important bits in the announcement of BRABO‘s launching their Toast on the Terrace happy hour.  Every Friday from 6-9p.m. (weather permitting) starting today through the fall months, guests can gather on the rooftop of the Lorien Hotel where bottomless sangrias and an impressive spread of artisanal cheeses.  The cheese certainly won’t be lonely next to a variety of charcuterie, cured and smoked meats, pậté, French bread and house-made marmalades.

The new format also achieves a classy exclusivity – access to the party is only granted to ticket holders.  But no worries – $25 gets you a ticket which you can either buy a day in advance or on the same day.  Call 703-894-5253 or visit the Butcher’s Block (you’ll have to go there anyway to pick up your tickets) which is next door to the Lorien Hotel. 

Should you prefer a libation other than the unlimited sangrias which are included in the ticket price, there will be a cash-only bar on the roof and wines available for purchase from the Butcher’s Block. 

The Butcher’s Block is located in Old Town Alexandria at 1600 King Street.
