There will also be six wild beers (beers with a wild yeast and “sweet sock funk”) available. The event runs from 12 to 5pm and includes two different flight options for $12.

Sunday

Mercato is always a popular choice for BYOBs despite its mostly no-reservation policy. But on Sundays that changes with their new family-style dinner. It’s reservations only and includes a salad, entree, sides, dessert, homemade limoncello and coffee. All that costs just $35 per person and this week the main course is Broccoli Rabe and Provolone Stuffed Meatloaf.
