Monster Mash Bloody Mary Challenge Returns to 16 Northern Liberties
Monster Mash: Northern Liberties Bloody Mary Challenge returns to Northern Liberties and will run from Saturday, October 9th through Sunday, October 17th (select restaurants participating on weekends only).
Monster Mash is pay-as-you-go over nine days, giving Bloody Mary lovers a chance to try as many as they like while enjoying indoor or outdoor dining at your leisure. Patrons rank their drinks in four categories (right spice, taste, “bling,” and halloween-i-ness) with an overall winner taking top honors. Brunch and lunch reservations are encouraged.
This year there are even more restaurants participating, including the about-to-open Figo Ristorante, North 3rd, North Bowl, Jerry’s Bar, Anejo, SET NoLibs, Urban Village, El Camino, Cantina Dos Segundos, Standard Tap, Germantown Garden, Germantown Garden Grill, The Abbaye, Heritage, Bourbon and Branch, and SIlk City. Each competing restaurant will feature a Halloween-themed Bloody Mary with spooktacular fixings.
