"So their amazing team reached out to us. They knew we were fans of, of him, of course, of Mark Wahlberg and of his tequila. And they just said, how about we start a friendship and come out and see you and bring Mark with us. And we said we would love to have Mark come out and serve margaritas from behind our bar," said Kelly Lancarte, the restaurant's PR and Marketing Director.
Lancarte adds, while the event on Monday from 7 p.m. - 7:45 p.m. is free, the margaritas are not.
