🥶🔥 SUMMER MAY BE COMING TO A CLOSE, BUT OUR FROZEN DRINKS AREN’T! 🔥🥶

Sure, the days are getting shorter… the nights are getting cooler… and everyone’s pretending they’re ready for fall. 🍂🙄

WE’RE NOT!

At John Doe Bar & Kitchen, we’re keeping the summer vibes VERY much alive with $10 FROZEN DRINKS FOR THE REST OF THE SUMMER! 🍹❄️

🍓 $10 Strawberry Margaritas
🍋 $10 Classic Margaritas
🥥 $10 Piña Coladas

And if you really want to make questionable-but-delicious decisions… 😏

🍓🍋 LAYER THE STRAWBERRY + CLASSIC MARGARITAS
Because why choose one when you can have BOTH? 🌈🤤

But wait… the frozen machines have more tricks up their sleeves. 👀❄️

COMING SOON:
☕ Frozen Espresso Martini
🍷 Froze
🍎 Frozen Apple Cider

That’s right. We’re taking frozen cocktails straight into fall because SEASONS ARE JUST A SUGGESTION. 😂

📍 John Doe Bar & Kitchen
253 5th Avenue, NYC

Come get frozen. Come get messy. Come pretend summer isn’t ending with us. 😎🍹

$10 frozen drinks. Zero apologies.

☀️ Why choose just one vibe when you can have all of them? 😎

Need a patio with a front-row view of the Empire State Building? ✔️

Craving refreshing summer cocktails, ice-cold beer, and food that tastes like vacation? 🍹🌮🥗 ✔️

Looking for the best place to catch the game on our giant TVs without missing a single play? 🏈⚾🏀⚽ ✔️

Brunch with friends? 🍳🥂 ✔️

Happy Hour every single day from 11AM–8PM? 🍺🍷🍸 ✔️

Late-night drinks that somehow turn into "just one more?" 🌙😉 ✔️

After-work group that can't decide where to go? We've already solved the argument. 🍻

And yes... we're still serving $1 freshly shucked oysters from 11AM–8PM every day. 🦪 (Your wallet says thank you.)

Whether you're escaping the office, fueling up before a night out, cheering on your team, soaking up the sunshine, or simply pretending your Aperol Spritz counts as hydration... we've got your table waiting.

📍 John Doe Bar & Kitchen
253 5th Avenue, New York City

Come thirsty. Come hungry. Come for "one drink."
We all know how that story ends. 😏🍻

☀️🍹 Orange you glad it's Spritz Season? 😏🍊

New Yorkers survive summer one spritz at a time... and lucky for you, we've got four reasons to cancel your other plans. 💁‍♀️✨

🧡 Aperol Spritz
🍋 Limoncello Spritz
🌿 Hugo Spritz
💜 Violet Spritz

They're cold. They're bubbly. They're basically vacation in a glass. 🍹🌴

Grab one (or politely "taste test" all four 😉), pair it with one of our fresh summer salads 🥗, and claim your throne on our HUGE outdoor patio right on 5th Avenue. Premium people-watching included at no extra charge. 🚕👠🗽

✨ EVERY DAY:
🍻 Happy Hour from 11AM–8PM
🦪 $1 Freshly Shucked Oysters from 11AM–8PM
🍸 Amazing drink specials
🌙 Open until 4AM, because great nights rarely end before midnight.

Whether you're escaping the office, avoiding your group chat, or simply looking for an excuse to say "I'll just have one..." (we've heard that before 😂), we've got your table waiting.

📍 John Doe Bar & Kitchen
253 5th Avenue, NYC

Come for the spritz. Stay because someone ordered another round. 🍹☀️🥂
