The Market Grill & Tavern

08/07/2026

🚨 If you haven't heard the news...

It's First Friday, and you know what that means... 🍻🎶

South Market Street is the place to be tonight! Stroll the art displays, check out the vendors, grab some amazing food, and (we might be a little biased 😏) make your way to Market Grill.

🎸 The one and only Tom's Kitchen Table will be jamming on our patio from 8:00–11:00 PM, and trust us—you don't want to miss it.

If you've never heard Tom's Kitchen Table before, you're in for a treat. If you have... then you already know where you'll be tonight.

See you on the patio! 🍔🍻🎶

You heard here folks!

We'll be right back!

After Saturday of course.

🚨 **Temporary Closure Alert!** 🚨

City News & Brews **and** Market Grill will be closed **this Sunday through Thursday, August 13th.**

During our time away, we'll be doing **exactly THREE** of the following...

* ⛳ Perfecting our golf swing.
* 🔨 Making some exciting changes for the future.
* 🎷 Listening to *The Greatest Hits of Kenny G* on repeat.
* 🌴 Taking our staff on a well-earned vacation.
* 🍺 Doing the Pepsi Challenge... but with beer.
* 🦫 Heading down to that convenient store in Texas.
* 📏 Undergoing an experimental leg-extension procedure.
* 🥒🏓 Kicking off our Pickleball Retirement Home Tour.
* 🌮 Traveling the country in search of the world's greatest taco.
* 🧹 Deep cleaning every nook and cranny we pretend not to notice.
* 🪑 Rearranging furniture 17 times until it "feels right."
* 🍻 Testing whether "one last beer" is a scientifically measurable amount.
* 🎯 Settling an intense debate over who actually has the best golf game.
* 🐿️ Training squirrels to bus tables (results not guaranteed).

**Your mission:** Guess which **THREE** we're actually doing. 👇

Whoever gets the closest earns absolutely nothing except bragging rights... which are priceless. 😎

In all seriousness, we'll miss you guys while we're gone, and we hope you'll miss us just a little too.

We'll be back **Friday**, refreshed and ready to see everyone again.

**This isn't goodbye... it's just see you next Friday!** 🍻❤️
