What’s Happenin’

Happy HourMonday – Friday | 2-6PM

We pour the good stuff. Treat yourself to mango jalapeño margs or mezcal that might just change your weekend plans. Whether you’re here for the house-made chips, the dangerously snackable brussel sprouts, we’ve got your cravings covered. Come thirsty. Leave a legend.

Patio Season

Patio season is officially ON, and we’re serving sun with a side of tequila! Whether you’re here to sip, snack, or soak up every ounce of summer, our riverside patio is the place to do it. Grab a marg, snag a seat, and let the good vibes do the rest.

Live Music

Enjoy live music from local artist Alyssia Dominguez on select Thursday evenings from 5pm – 8pm! June 12 & 26, August 14 and September 4. Plus, every Friday we’ve got the talented Evan Christian playing from 5pm – 8pm.

Dog Friendly Patios

Our patio isn’t just people-friendly—it’s pup-approved. Bring your four-legged foodie for a round of sunshine and snacks—because your dog deserves to brunch, too.

Tequila is our love language

With over 160 tequilas on deck, Blue Bat doesn’t just dabble in agave—we live it. From rare finds to exclusive bottles you won’t see anywhere else, our shelves are stacked and our team knows their stuff. Whether you’re a rookie or a tequila snob (no shame), we’ll help you sip like a pro.

Zero Regifting Risk.

Because nothing says “I like you” like a 160 tequilas and zero judgement. (Also good at any Bensons Restaurants!)
