Complete Food & Drink Offerings With A Rooftop Afterparty
There is no Fat Tuesday parade in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter anymore, but there is a Mardi Gras party.
It’s a bar crawl of sorts on Saturday, March 3, called the Big Easy Bites & Booze Tour. It consists of going around to 20 Gaslamp bars restaurants, each of which is offering New Orleans style food, as well as “sips” of drinks.
Afterward, there’s a rooftop party at a mystery location, which also has a bite and a “sip.”
It goes from 1-5 p.m., and yes there are beads.
To participate, you buy a ticket for $25 ($30 the day-of if you’re not much of a planner and just show up at a restaurant) and make your way around to the participating establishments. There are no other drink specials tho, but of course you can get more beers or cocktails at the bar or restaurant’s regular prices.
Here’s a rundown of the participating bars and restaurants with the food and drinks served at each. You can go to as few or as many of them as you like, of course, but need to visit 10 to get into the afterparty:
