Red Lion’s Happy Birthday 16 Cumberland

April 1st marks 5 years at 16 Cumberland Street South, and we thought we should celebrate the only way we know how: Food, Drinks, and Music

Join us Friday April 5th starting from 5pm as we have:
- Specialty Food Features including some throwback menu options
- Specialty Drinks
- Live Music featuring Jen Metcalfe on the stage that Jen Metcalfe built (music from 7:30pm to 9:30pm)
- Party Hats
- Party Games

And if we're lucky, maybe John will also make us a specialty birthday cake too!
