Drink-n-Draw Overdrive is a Time Out NY "Perfect Weekend" Pick

Thanks Time Out NY for the Drink-n-Draw Overdrive Critic's pick!

Oh, 3rd Ward. You're so cool, and that makes us want to hate you but…yeah, you're too damn cool. This weekly event calls on drawers, sketchers and scribblers to show up and make use of ten different (human!) models, and to drink booze at the same time. The progression of drawings from the beginning to the end just has to be amazing. Read the full listing here.

Click for more details on our special beer on tap, the poses, and the limited-time deal that will let you into all DnDs for FREE.

P.S. We're not too cool...really! We just want people to have a good time.

Just in Time for Valentine's Day // Make a Love Connection at 3rd Ward

a connection at Drink-n-DrawIt's sort of an unspoken selling point, but it's close to Valentine's Day, so we're just going to just say it. 3rd Ward is a great place to pick up dates!

Says Refinery29, in their "Dating in NYC" article:

Don't worry, we're not telling you to go back to school (although we love us a good MBA student), but enrolling in a class or two might not be too bad for your romance resume. We have a heart-on for 3rd Ward, an "incubator for innovation" in Brooklyn that offers everything from lost wax casting lessons to a flash fiction workshop and literally almost anything in between (window farming anyone?). And even if you don't get someone's digits, at least you'll learn something.

Meet a mate, date, or friend at one of our classes or events.
