Did you know Fitzpatrick’s is a BYO restaurant? But what does that mean? What can you expect when you bring your own to Fitzpatrick’s?
First, the cost will be considerably lower. Did you know that wine and alcohol have some of the highest markups in the industry? By bringing your own you can splurge for that extra dessert.
Enjoy favorites from your own wine cellar or brew bucket to share with your friends, family, and guests. BYO gives you the freedom to enjoy your favorite drinks with your favorite meals. Great food, great beverage, great night!
We provide all the accessories you need – corkscrew, bottle opener, wine buckets, glassware – but you have to do all the work. BYO means that we can’t sell or handle the alcohol, so practice opening those bottles before you head out for the evening!
We’ll need to see some ID, of course.
Please remember to choose a designated driver or call a cab. We don’t mind having your car overnight in the name of safety.
