Resident craft beer kitchen and bar, The Vintage at Drygate, are offering comedy audiences a fantastic pre and post show dinner offer of 15 per cent off with valid show ticket. However, dinner must be booked in advance. The tasty menu includes beery mussels, rump steak and artisan cheese boards alongside a 200-strong bottle list.
Gilded Balloon artistic director, Karen Koren, said: “In working in close collaboration with both Drygate and The Vintage we have been able to offer first class comedy, delicious food and supreme quality craft beer all under one roof – a fantastic and affordable night out. Comedy fans have responded well to this unique formula for the city and we are looking forward to bringing some more top class comedy shows to the west coast in 2015.”
