Downtown’s Taverna Agora Greek Kitchen & Bar is throwing a big bash on Thursday, Aug. 24 to toast to 20 years... and you’re invited.

Located beside the iconic circular Holiday Inn, this restaurant and bar offers a Greek Isles-style atmosphere complete with blue and white linens, olive trees, and a picture-perfect rooftop patio.

Celebrate and let the “opas!” commence with a night featuring an authentic Greek family-style feast with dishes like whole roasted lamb and chicken souvlaki, plus bouzouki music, belly dancing, and plate smashing.

Tickets are $70 and the first 100 tickets purchased will have a guaranteed seat on the lush rooftop patio. Seating is communal, so you’ll get to know your neighbors.

Meet ya on the rooftop? Reserve your spot.
