It was last April when Bottle House 42 made its debut in the Brewery District at 1130 N. 9th St.

So, on Friday, April 15, the F Street Hospitality venue – which encompasses a beer hall, restaurant, events venue, beer garden, ground floor patio and rooftop bar – is throwing itself a birthday bash.

The special birthday celebration, which will take place on Friday, April 15 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., is free and open to the public. But guests will be able to take advantage of food and drink specials all day long and enjoy live entertainment from local party band Superfly from 7 to 11 p.m.

Drink specials will include $5 margaritas, $4 canned cocktails, and $3 Jack Daniel’s shots.

“It has been a unique year in the restaurant industry,” said Kaelyn Cervero, CPCE, Vice President of F Street Hospitality. “We want to thank our restaurant and special event guests for their continued support and patronage. We are going all out for Bottle House 42's 1st Anniversary, and we hope to see you all there!”
