Cocktails with the Whales May 21, 2009

Mystic’s new happy hour spot promises a “whale” of a good time! This summer, enjoy drinks, food and live music in the warm evening air at Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration, where Ocean Blue Catering is hosting Cocktails with the Whales in front of the Arctic Coast exhibit, home to the aquarium’s three resident beluga whales. These monthly gatherings take place on Thursday evenings – May 21, June 25, July 16 and August 20 – from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The evenings include drink specials, including Ocean Blue’s signature “Belugatini”, hors d’ oeuvres such as chicken wings and nachos available for purchase and live music in front of the Arctic Coast’s three 20-foot underwater viewing windows, providing guests an up-close look at the belugas.

These events will be cancelled in the case of inclement weather. Cocktails with the Whales replaces the Plenty of Fish in the Sea Social Nights scheduled for May 21 and June 25.

Cost: $5 admission per person with cash bar and hors d’oeuvres available for purchase. Reservations are recommended. Please call (860) 572-5955 ext. 336 to make a reservation. Attendees must be 21 or older.
