Behind the scenes of building Cheers to the Season Behind the scenes of building Cheers to the Season App.

Full team app review ✅ (even the babies had to chip in)

(Our lawyer would probably want us to tell you that this is a joke, you must be 21+ to use the app, no tabs were opened, baby interns were not served, no drinks were poured, ordered, discussed, or redeemed, and bedtime was strictly enforced)

Thanks to the help of our baby interns, Cheers to the Season app is ready and launching VERYYYY soon. It will soft launch to a small number of people to ensure a smooth rollout.

Not on our soft-launch list yet? Comment APP below to be the first to know when the app is live! 

APP OFFERS INCLUDE:
✨Buy one get one free cocktails, beer, or wine
✨Free appetizer with your drink purchase
✨Free pastry with your coffee purchase
✨Cocktail with your meal purchase
