Spanish Flavors Bloom with Spring Specials at Gypsy Kitchen
This spring, Gypsy Kitchen lures guests to celebrate the changing seasons and warmer weather with a variety of specials. When guests walk through the doors of Gypsy Kitchen, they are ushered into another world, one filled with eclectic bohemian style and culinary adventures boasting the flavors of the Mediterranean, and these specialty nights are a way to celebrate this experience nearly every night of the week.
Every Monday through Friday from 4-6 p.m., Gypsy Kitchen invites guests in for happy hour food and drink specials. The happy hour menu boasts a variety of flatbreads, patatas bravas and croquetas de pollo. Glasses of wine range from $8-$10. Grey Goose Essence spritzes, in three flavors, are $10, and the seasonal saffron-infused Highclere Castle gin spritz is $11. A portion of each Highclere Castle spritz sold goes to support Camp Twin Lakes.
On Wine Down Wednesdays, guests are invited for a midweek pick-me-up with reduced prices on bottles of wine and live music.
Gypsy Kitchen is hosting Third Thursdays, a new series happening every third Thursday of the month. On these evenings, guests can expect a lavish multi-course dinner that explores the best flavors of the Mediterranean.

Once the weekend hits, diners can cap off dinner with DJ James Pruitt who will be spinning low lounge house music from 8-11 p.m. every Saturday.
