The drinks are on us

By Mir

September 19, 2009

I’ve run a contest or two for Bonefish Grill before, and it always seems to be pretty popular. What’s not to like, what with the awesome appetizers, amazing fish entrees, and—of course—the pomegranate martinis (my favorite). This weekend’s quickie contest prize won’t necessarily pay for your entire date night meal, but at least you can get a couple of drinks and maybe an appetizer.

That’s right, today you could win a $25 gift card to Bonefish. Are you the sort of person to turn down free? I don’t think so. You’re far too pretty for that.

Want to win it? First go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. Eastern (8:59 Pacific) on Sunday, September 20th, 2009 to be entered. Winner to be determined by random number generation and your ability to shake, not stir.

Ready? Go!

At this point, since we’ve had no “date night” in a very long time, a date night consisting of appetizers and a drink (or seven) sounds great! And having a gift card with which to pay for it (or, with seven drinks, a fraction of it…)? Fabulous!
