According to restaurant research firm Technomic, brunch has become the new dinner. Many of us have now seen our breakfast bleed into lunch more often than not. Restaurants have embraced this trend by crafting brunch menus that capture the best of both worlds.
You know what’s better than one drink? Two, but our budgets might argue against that. That’s where the brilliant idea of bottomless cocktails comes in. So, for a set period, your glass can be refilled with your favourite drinks without any worries.
