Secret conversation overheard this week:

Reggie Bush: “Hey, Peyton, did you know that Punk’s Backyard Grill is offering 15% off all Super Bowl Sunday catering orders of $75 or more?”

Peyton Manning: “Wow, I didn’t know that. I sure would like to eat Oven Roasted Pulled Pork Sandwiches in front of my TV, but I have to go to work that day.”

Reggie Bush: “Me too. I love the Red Bliss Potato Salad. Hey, I have an idea! Let’s record the game on my DVR, order some Punk’s, and watch the game when we get home from work.”

Peyton Manning: “Great idea. I’ll call 410.571.7744 right now and place our order. I’ll have Eli pick it up on Sunday.”

Reggie Bush: “Perfect. Good luck at work. See you Sunday.”

We are rapidly approaching our one year anniversary here at Punk’s and to celebrate, we’ve decided to give something back to you, our loyal customers.  From February 1st until February 5th, we will be giving out free slices of birthday cake (homemade, of course) with any purchase and giving away prizes! You could win anything from a gift certificate to a discount to a free dessert, all of which can be redeemed through the month of March.  And all you have to do is keep doing what you’ve been doing – come in and join us for a meal.

It’s our way of saying “Thank You” for making our first year such a success!

Don’t forget that this Saturday, January 23rd, we’re hosting a cocktail class at Punk’s.  The class will run from 2-3pm and we’ll be mixing up sparkling cocktails that are sure to impress that special someone in your life come Valentine’s Day. 

The cost is only $10 per person and you’re guaranteed to leave happier than you arrived.  Along with some delicious sparkling cocktails, we’ll also be trying out some house-made bitters that are easy to make and delicious, and eating some Punk’s food.

Become the mixologist you always wanted to be and sign up now!  To rsvp, either email us at dmccabe @ punksbackyardgrill.com or call the restaurant at 410-571-7744.

We’re happy to announce that we have added a few new beers to the lineup at Punk’s.  In addition to the current list, we’ve added the three great craft brews listed below. And there are a few more delicious additions yet to come, so stay tuned.

Brooklyn Lager - This is a great lager from the Brooklyn Brewery located in, well, Brooklyn! The Brooklyn Brewery is committed to producing quality beers and their lager is a great example of the classic “Vienna” style, which is defined by a copper color and slight malt sweetness.

Victory Storm King Stout - Victory Brewing Company is located in Pennsylvania, just outside of Philadelphia.  Their Storm King Stout is a delicious dark beer with deep flavors of chocolate and caramel.  We’ll have this for the rest of the winter as it is a great beer to sip on when the weather outside is frightful.

Rogue American Amber Ale - The Rogue Brewery has always been at the forefront of the beverage industry, starting with craft beer and more recently moving into a line of spirits (we love their rum).  We’ve chosen their American Amber beer as it has great balance and flavor (and it wins a lot of beer awards, which we think is pretty cool).  This beer sits right in the middle of the light to dark spectrum making it a great year round selection.

And remember, we have happy hour Monday through Friday from 3pm to 6pm!

Unfortunately the great Snowpocalypse of 2009 snowed everyone in and we had to cancel our December 19th cocktail class.

But don’t fret! Now that the holidays are in the rear view mirror, we could all use a little January de-stresser.  So the class has been rescheduled for Saturday, January 23rd at 2:00pm. The cost will still be a mere $10 and you’ll get a cocktail (or two) and some light food.

We’re going to alter the theme slightly, since the original New Year’s Eve theme seems a bit dated at this point. So instead, we’re going to mix up some Valentine’s Day champagne cocktails!  Valentine’s Day is one of those overrated eat-out holidays anyways, and in our household, nothing says “I Love You” like a shaker full of ice and some good liquor.  So, we’ll be mixing up champagne cocktails and setting everyone up for a successful Valentine’s Day.

Hopefully it won’t look like this –> and we’ll all be able to make it out to drink some cocktails!! To RSVP, call us at 410-571-7744 or email us at “dmccabe at punksbackyardgrill.com”

Well, as expected, Navy football pummeled Army this past weekend in the annual Army/Navy game in Philadelphia.  As a result of the 14 point beating, anyone who comes to Punk’s with their ticket stub from the game gets 14% off of their meal!  We’re leaving this offer out there through Sunday the 20th, so you have all week to round up your friends and come celebrate the Navy victory at Punk’s. What are you waiting for??

Get into the holiday spirit by enjoying a drink at Punk’s!

From December 4th through the 27th, we will be donating $0.15 to a local charity for every beer, glass of wine, and cocktail sold in the restaurant.  We’ll be filling up three large glass jars (generously donated by Crate&Barrel) with bottle caps and wine corks by tossing one in every time someone orders a drink.  When you order your beverage, you can choose which of the three charities you’d like to make a contribution to, and at the end of the month we’ll write each charity a check for the total amount donated.

It’s a fun and easy way for you to help people in need just by ordering an alcoholic beverage during your meal at Punk’s!  The three local charities that we will be donating to are:

Light House: Anne Arundel County’s only 24/7 homeless shelter

The Box of Rain Foundation: A youth mentoring program based around maritime activities

The Boys and Girls Club of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County: A non-profit that provides a safe and educational setting for children ages 5-18.

This charity event will run from December 4th through December 27th and the more you come, the more money will go to charity.  Thanks to everyone for your support!

On Sunday, December 12th, we renew the gridiron rivalry between Army and Navy.  Since 1890, these two institutions have been battling it out on the football field for a year’s worth of bragging rights.  And although Navy has won the previous seven consecutive years, we always expect Army to put up a good fight.

For those of you attending this time honored tradition, which is being held at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Punk’s will be offering a special discount the entire week following the game. Just bring in your ticket stub from the game and we’ll give you a discount worth the number of points that Navy wins the game by.  So assuming that Navy wins (come on people, of course Navy will win), the discount could be 10%, 21% or 35% off an entrée…or more! The promotion will run from Sunday, Dec. 13 to Sunday, Dec. 20.

So get out there and support Navy football.  And then come feed your friends and families at Punk’s!
