Whip out the party poppers because Ward 8 just hit a milestone: five years serving up New American fare and comfort food classics. The gastropub is hosting a big bumpin’ birthday bash on Tuesday, November 27th with a live DJ, vintage-inspired craft cocktails and Parlor Ice Cream Co. sandwiches (heck yes). You can try a few free bites, too, from chef Eric Buonagurio & co. that’ll give you a hint of what to expect from Ward 8 owner Nick Frattoroli‘s not-yet-opened Italian-American spot, Tony & Elaine’s. The party kicks off at 9:00pm — give 617.823.4478 a ring with any Qs.
