The Sip & Stroll in Saratoga Springs, New York

Eric signed us up for the Sip and Stroll in Saratoga Springs.  There are twenty businesses participating in this three hour event.  Most are serving drinks.  A few are offering appetizers.  Two shops are offering specially priced items for the evening.






The evening starts

Our first stop is the Winners
Circle at Gaffney's for
Wine Spritzers.




Next stop...












The bartender wasn't checking the entire bar for customers...  We finally got our drinks.







I ordered a Shandy & Eric chose
Peanut Butter & Jelly Beer.

The Breaded Chicken Wings
were great!





Neither one of us liked the Peanut Butter Beer.





Eric & I strolled to Dango











They were pouring
Bud Lights for Sip & 
Stroll participants.






Again, the bartender was not very watchful.  Eric decided to skip the shot he wanted and we continued our stroll.





Phila Fusion was our
next stop.




We were welcomed by the hostess and shown to the bar.  Phila Fusion is offering White Wine, Red Wine and Hot Sake this evening.





Eric & I chose the Hot Sake.

It was a welcome change
from beer.




Eric ordered a bottle
of Sayuri.

Nigori, creamy unfiltered
Sake, is served chilled.

The Sip and Stroll was a fun way to explore "new to us" restaurants and bars in Saratoga Springs. Eric and I will be visiting Philo Fusion, Peabody's Sports Bar, and a few other watering holes the next time we are in Saratoga Springs.
