Celebrate BRQ’s One Year Anniversary on Wednesday
Anniversaries are a way to remind of us of those special days we will remember for the rest of our lives—the ones we will treasure forever—like weddings, friendships … and the opening of BRQ Seafood and Barbeque, of course.
The restaurant is celebrating its one-year anniversary Wednesday, June 6, with all-day drink specials, including $2 domestic beers and half off frosé. Then, 5-9 p.m., chow down on freshly cooked whole hog plates for $15. Goodies will also be available.
To join in on the celebration, you’ll want to head down to 10423 Jefferson Highway. You can get spots here while they’re hot (like the hogs will be).
