BONE LICK BBQ GOES HOG WILD FOR ITS ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY BASH

West Midtown’s favorite bar-b-cade, Bone Lick BBQ, is excited to invite friends and fellow barbecue aficionados to celebrate its first year of success on Saturday, August 24, 2013. The all-day birthday bash kicks off at 12 p.m. and features live music, DJs, a dunk tank, classic arcade games, drinking and eating competitions and much more. Free to attend, Bone Lick’s full menu created by award-winning pit master Mike LaSage will also be available throughout the day and night.

Taking over the expansive sidewalk in front of the restaurant, a DJ will start the party at 12 p.m. and revelers will have an opportunity to dunk their favorite Bone Lick BBQ staffers and local personalities throughout the day to help raise need funds for Staplehouse. Beer lovers can get their fill at 2 p.m. during the Red Hare Brewing Company Chugging Competition and those that dare can participate in the Fat Ass Muff Challenge - a.k.a. attempt to eat the ultimate 5-pound sandwich filled with pulled pork, house smoked sausage, smoked brisket, collard greens, crispy onions, jalapeno infused bacon, and homemade coleslaw. Live music kicks off 5 p.m. leading up to an hour of complimentary Red Hare brews from 6 to 7 p.m. Bone Lick’s own Mike LaSage and his band the Stumbling Troubadours will take the stage at 6:30 p.m. for a special performance and, of course, the Braves game will be on starting at 7 p.m. The 8 o’clock hour brings a new DJ to the celebration, taking the party to next level and bringing giveaways, a few surprises, the opportunity for Bone Lick fans to be among the first to try the new late night menu.  As always, guests can enjoy free skee ball and take advantage of the barb-b-cade’s multitude of classic arcade games throughout the day and night.

Bone Lick BBQ is located at 1133 Huff Road at Apex West Midtown in Atlanta, Georgia and is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.  Ample parking is available on the street and in a large parking deck accessible by an entrance located between Slice and Bone Lick BBQ.
