🚨🌮 THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🌮🚨
Cinco de Mayo just slid into Taco Tuesday’s DMs… and now things are getting irresponsible.
This Tuesday, May 5th at John Doe Bar & Kitchen:
🥃 $5 tequila shots (because one is a suggestion)
🍺 $5 Modelo cans (hydration is important)
🍹 $8 margaritas (basically a health drink with lime)
🌮 $8 for THREE tacos (we’re practically giving them away, please don’t tell our chef)
PLUS Happy Hour from 11AM–8PM… because quitting early is a personality trait.
Show up hungry. Leave texting people you shouldn’t. Stay for “one quick drink” and accidentally learn everyone’s life story at the bar.
Let’s make some poor decisions… together. 💃🕺

What did you do last night?
Make it funny enough to talk about at brunch 😏🥂
Join us for “What Did You Do Last Night?” Comedy Brunch on Saturday, April 18th at 1PM at John Doe Bar & Kitchen—where the mimosas are flowing, the oysters are shucking, and the comedians are absolutely not holding back.
🎤 Multiple hilarious comedians
🥂 90 minutes of bottomless drinks starting at $24 (because one mimosa is never the whole story)
🍳 Brunch entrée required (you laugh harder on a full stomach)
🦪 $1 freshly shucked oysters + Happy Hour during the show
Bring your friends, your appetite, and maybe a slightly questionable story from the night before… 👀
🎟️ Tickets available now on Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.com/e/what-did-you-do-last-night-comedy-brunch-at-john-doe-bar-kitchen-tickets-1986485709231?aff=ebdssbdestsearch

Hoppy Easter, NYC 🐰🥂—because nothing says “I found the golden egg” like a 3-course feast and a free drink.
Slide into our $49.95 prix-fixe all weekend long (yes, your glass of wine/beer/cocktail is on us 🍷🍺🍸), or brunch like the champion you are—free drink with entrée, because balance.
Oh, and did we mention Happy Hour from 11am–8pm and $1 freshly shucked oysters? Yeah… the Easter Bunny could never.
Come hungry. Leave egg-static. 🐣✨

🏀 March Madness is here and so are your excuses to day drink 👀🍻
At John Doe Bar & Kitchen, we’ve got more TVs than your living room dreams about, sound ON for the big games, and specials so good they should be reviewed by the NCAA.
🍔 Game-day food specials? Yup.
🍹 Drink deals? Obviously.
🦪 $1 oysters? Say less.
⏰ Happy Hour DAILY from 11AM–8PM? Don’t mind if we do.
Come for the buzzer-beaters, stay because you accidentally ordered another round (and maybe 12 oysters).

🍀 NYC, it’s time to get shamrocked. 🍀
St. Patrick’s Day is taking over John Doe Bar & Kitchen, and we’re going full leprechaun mode. The place is decked out in green, the bagpipes are warming up, and the Guinness is practically pouring itself.
Come celebrate with:
🥃 Classic & modern Irish food and drinks
🦪 $1 freshly shucked oysters (because nothing says Ireland like… oysters in NYC)
🎶 Live music + roaming bagpipe players
🍀 Festive décor and dangerously good Irish vibes
🌙 Open late until 4AM so you can properly test your luck
Whether you're here for the pints, the pipes, the oysters, or just to find out if that “Kiss Me I’m Irish” shirt actually works… we’ve got you covered.
Grab your friends, wear something green, and prepare for a shamrockin’ good time in the heart of NYC. Sláinte! 🍻

🚨🏈 SUPER BOWL EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT 🏈🚨
If you show up to a Super Bowl party without wings, you will be talked about in the group chat. Possibly forever.
Avoid public shame. Pre-order your chicken wings from John Doe Bar & Kitchen and secure your legacy.
🐔 Flavors that understand the assignment:
• Garlic & Herb Butter (classy but dangerous)
• Cajun Lime Tequila (bold. chaotic. unforgettable.)
• Classic Buffalo (the GOAT)
• Chili Honey Mustard (sweet, spicy, emotionally confusing)
• Old Bay Spice (Maryland energy, NYC attitude)
• Buff-a-Que (because choosing is hard)
• Lemon Pepper (for the real ones)
• BBQ (a people pleaser with trust issues)
These wings are perfect for touchdowns, commercial critiques, halftime opinions nobody asked for, and yelling “THAT WAS A CATCH.”
📍 Pickup at:
John Doe Bar & Kitchen
253 5th Avenue, NYC
📲 Pre-order before someone else eats your share:
• DM
• Email [email protected]
• Call 646-882-4007
• Order at johndoenyc.com
Don’t wing it.
Order the wings.
Be the reason people invite you back. 🏈🍗🔥
