Stay tuned to the Highball Facebook event and Blogtown updates—then plot your strategic course and get drinking starting March 19! Be sure to use #pdxhighball so we can follow your progress.

AND REMEMBER THERE ARE A FEW RULES:
• Drink responsibly! This goes without saying, but because we love you and don’t want you to die, PLEASE be safe and smart with your Highball consumption—and NEVER drink and drive.
• Be patient! We all need a drink (or 41) right now. But so do our friends, neighbors, and sworn enemies! So if a Highball bar is slammed, or if they run out of those little umbrellas? Be cool—it’ll all get sorted soon enough! And if you want to help things go smoothly, pay in cash—it’ll save time, and your server will appreciate it. Speaking of which….
• Tip your bartenders, and order food! Sure, the best part of Highball are those $5 drinks… but each Highball location also has great food, and their talented bartenders will be working hard to keep those craft cocktails pouring! So relax, grab a bite, and let your bartenders and waitstaff know how much you appreciate ‘em!
