The Weekender

This weekend, All Of The Things are happening. Seriously, you have no excuse to plant yourself on a couch. Head over to The Hawthorne in an Uber, and they’ll hook you up with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine. As always, share your experiences with @Uber_BOS and @Uber_Prov on Twitter and Instagram!

Free Bubbly! | The Hawthorne

We’ve partnered with The Hawthorne to bring you the perfect reason to get out and enjoy Boston after a long week at the office. The first 50 people to take an Uber to the Hawthorne on Friday night and receive a complimentary glass of sparkling wine with your Uber ride receipt. Kick back and relax in the comfort of one of Boston’s best cocktail lounges all with the peace of mind of not having to deal with parking or competing for taxis with the baseball crowd. With growing popularity of Kenmore Square, you can expect fewer places to ditch a car, so Uber’s your best bet for reliable transportation to Kenmore this summer!

Lions and Tigers and Beers, Oh My! | Brew at the Zoo

Not that you need an excuse to see awesome critters, but holding a crisp beer while exploring the Franklin Zoo sounds pretty enticing! For the first time, the entire zoo is open for the annual Brew at the Zoo! It’s also Okie the gorilla’s 21st birthday, and Hopsters have brewed an exclusive Banana Weizen in honor of this coming of age.

We’re not sure what a Fire Gypsy is, but we’re told there will be one entertaining the crowds, along with live music, food, and dancers. It’s all to benefit the Fort Adams Trust, so you can enjoy the Hawaiian-themed festivities while knowing you’re supporting an important historic landmark.
