Did you get your tickets to the Andersonville Wine Walk on Sunday? I hope so, because it is officially sold out! Don’t worry though, not only are there many great spots to grab a glass of wine in Andersonville (forget walking, I’ll just sit and relax) there are a lot of other fun things to do this weekend in the neighborhood!
Ever wished you do a little country line dancing after your dinner at Hamburger Mary’s? Or just go bust a move after a few drinks at Farraguts? Or catch a drag revue without leaving Andersonville? Well you are in luck! We are happy to announce that Cattle Call opens its doors tonight at 8:00 pm. So stop in, have a drink and welcome owners Mike and Michael to the neighborhood. And “stay until the cows come home!”
Cattle Call is located at 1547 W. Bryn Mawr. For information about other great places to drink and dine in the neighborhood, visit www.andersonville.org.
