Taco Bamba's sixth annual Bar Crawl starts September 2nd, and they're doing it a little differently this time around. Throughout September, Taco Bamba is selling unique, branded cocktail glasses paired with signature cocktails straight from the menu. Buy the cocktail, keep the glass. Unlike in previous years, where only a handful of restaurants participated each week, this time around, bar crawlers can visit any Taco Bamba location for that week’s featured glass and cocktail. A new cocktail and glass will be released every Wednesday in September. Each cocktail comes in its own unique glass and will be available at each location while supplies last.
