Taco Thursdays have officially landed at Next Bar 🌮🍺
And honestly… these are not your average tacos.
We’re talking:
🌮 Beer Battered Snapper
Loaded with crunchy slaw, avo & fresh salsa
🌮 Korean ‘KFC’ Chicken
Sweet, spicy, crispy goodness with a proper kick
🌮 The Big ‘M’
Wagyu beef patty, iceberg lettuce, cheese, pickle & special burger sauce. You already know where the inspiration came from 😉
$8.00 each every Thursday
Perfect with an ice cold beer, margarita, or a crisp glass of wine while you soak up the marina atmosphere.
Whether you’re popping in for a quick bite, after-work drinks, or making a night of it, Taco Thursdays are officially a thing now… and we’ve got a feeling these are going to disappear fast.
Round up your friends and come hungry!
