Gather, Graze & Give Thanks!
This Thanksgiving season, gather your friends and join us at Reserve 218 for an evening of charcuterie, seasonal sips, music, and great company!
Whether you're a charcuterie lover, a cocktail enthusiast, or simply looking for a fun night out before Thanksgiving, this is your invitation to unwind, get creative, and enjoy a unique Friendsgiving experience in our intimate venue.
You'll learn how to create a beautiful charcuterie board that you can recreate for your own Thanksgiving dinner, including our featured demonstration on how to make an elegant salami rose. Then, put your new skills to work as you design your own board, enjoy light bites, and socialize with friends.
