Discounts and Specials Galore

BY // 03.26.20

We can thank Governor Greg Abbott for eliminating restrictions on boozy takeouts in this time of COVID-19 crisis. On March 18, he announced a waiver “that will allow restaurants to deliver alcoholic beverages with food purchases to patrons, including beer, wine, and mixed drinks.”

Restaurants have eagerly responded not only with wine discounts, but also with creative deals.

Perhaps most generous to the table is Cajun-influenced favorite Eunice, which offers 50 percent off all wine purchases along with comfort-food regulars and favorites including chicken and sausage gumbo, crawfish étouffée, and red beans and rice in daily specials.

Matt Brice, proprietor of Federal American Grill, offers not only beer and mixed drinks to go at both of his locations but also wines at 25 percent off regular menu prices.

Chef Chris Shepherd’s Underbelly Hospitality offers the entire Georgia James wine list at 20 percent off. As of Wednesday, the company had consolidated its takeout and delivery services to the 1100 Westheimer location. The offerings include take-and bake items, daily specials, ready-to-eat meals such as Cease and Desist burgers, and wings, salads, sides, sweets, and uncooked steaks from the Georgia James meat market.

a’Bouzy is killing it when it comes to bubbly. How about a bottle of Dom Pérignon for $130! All of the restaurant’s 250 varieties of champagne are offered at 10 percent off the already wallet-friendly prices, as well as proprietor Shawn Virene’s full stock of wine. a’Bouzy has added some creative juice to takeout and delivery, with cocktail kits available when ordered with food.
