Summer Flavors, Shared in Celebration, from Portugal Day to Pride Night

Summer at Aguardente means bold plates, cold drinks, and good reasons to gather. This June, we’re grilling for Portugal Day and raising a glass for Pride — with fresh cocktails like the Pepino Sucio, a floral gin martini, and weekly margarita flights. However you show up, there’s always a seat at the table.

We’ve Got Some Exciting Events Lined Up

From grilled sardines and live Portuguese music to one-night-only Pride cocktails, we’re bringing people together through food, culture, and community.
