Barcelona hosts Memorial Day BBQ and pig roasts all summer long

Memorial Day and BBQs…they are inseparable like peanut butter and jelly, Batman and Robin, Lewis and Clark, Ren & Stimpy, bread and butter, and even pasta and sauce.  Perhaps they go so well together because BBQ’n brings family and friends together outside for good times, good fun, and good eats?  In essence, the grill unites people and connects us through our basic needs of friendship and food.

But, what do you do if you don’t have a grill or just want to go out and celebrate?  Easy…you head over to Barcelona Wine Bar & Restaurant in Fairfield on 5/27 from 1-9 pm.  For just $20 or $10 for kids (that’s a nice deal, btw) you’ll get a BBQ buffet that consists of sliders, kebabs, ribs, grilled veggies, salads, and their famous suckling pig.  For the beer lover, they’ll also have tastings from one of our favorite local breweries, Captain Lawrence.  They’ll have face painting for the kids (or that cool hipster) from 1:30-4:30, they’ll have outdoor games (cornhole please!), and they will even have a lemonade/popsicle/ice cream stand.  And, what’s a BBQ without live music?  Barcelona will have Rick Reyes & The Pasonfino Social Club playing from 2-6 while you chat, chew, and chill.

Now, the fun doesn’t stop with the BBQ.  Actually, it begins this Thursday (5/16) and continues every Thursday all summer long at Barcelona in South Norwalk.  Yup yup, Barcelona SoNo will be holding “Pig on the Patio” events on their front patio from 5-7 each week.  For attending you’ll get free “fresh-off-the-pig pork,” cheap glasses of red and white sangria for just $5, and they’ll have $5 deals on featured glasses of wine.    Rick Reyes & The Pasofino Social Club are back for some more and will provide live music from 6-8.
