Tom & Jerries
Every weekend in Dec.
Join us this holiday season to enjoy a Tom & Jerry, a warming and bracing cocktail perfect for cold weather and high spirits. As usual, our mix is made from scratch and served hot, featuring Korbel brandy and Bacardi 8 rum. This year we are offering collectable mugs, created just for Bryant's by local artist Pete Klockau!
​
To enjoy a Tom & Jerry, purchase a drink ticket from your bartender or server after you have been seated. We'll save your seat while you visit our special room upstairs and trade your ticket for a delicious Tom and Jerry.
​
See Bryant's Facebook page for dates and times.
