Thirsty Chef: West Coast Food + Beer Experience

GET READY TO CELEBRATE A DECADE OF DELICIOUSNESS! THE DRAKE EATERY & CRAFT BEER PARLOUR IS TURNING 10, AND WE’RE THROWING THE ULTIMATE PARTY WITH THE RETURN OF OUR LEGENDARY THIRSTY CHEF FESTIVAL!

Join us on Saturday, August 3, from 12 pm to 4 pm at historic Market Square for an unforgettable afternoon of mouthwatering food and exceptional craft beer. A dozen stations fill the square, where top-notch local chefs team up with artisanal brewers to create mind-blowing flavor combinations just for you.

But that’s not all! Groove to the beats of talented local musicians as you indulge in a feast for the senses. And the best part? It’s all for a great cause! Proceeds from this year’s Thirsty Chef will support the incredible work of the Victoria Cool Aid Society.

For just $50, you’ll get to savor all the food, take home a commemorative beer glass, and know that part of your ticket is helping those in need. Drinks will be available for purchase by the glass. Tickets are available now at The Drake Eatery or online through Eventbrite. This is a 19+ event.

Don’t miss out – mark your calendar and get your tickets today! Cheers to 10 years of The Drake Eatery!
