DONT FORGET THIS IS TOMORROW NIGHT!

🚨🚔 BREAKOUT ALERT! THE LOCKUP IS OPEN! 🚔🚨

Something wicked is cooking behind the bars… and you’re officially invited to dinner. 👻🔒

Join us for our HALLOWEEN COPS & ROBBERS STEAK NIGHT at The Working Mule on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16TH from 4PM–9PM! 🎃🥩

⚠️ DON’T BE SURPRISED IF YOU’RE BOOKED, FINGERPRINTED & GET YOUR MUG SHOT TAKEN BEFORE ENTERING THE MESS HALL FOR DINNER! 👮‍♂️📸🔐

We’ve put together a criminally good menu that may be too delicious to be considered legal. From juicy Hanger Steak and a 16oz New York Strip to our Crab & Shrimp Stuffed Salmon, plus the option to turn ANY steak into a STEAK OSCAR with crab & shrimp stuffing for just an $8 upcharge… these dishes are guilty of stealing the show! 🔥🥩

And because even our youngest inmates deserve a good meal… 👮‍♂️🍭

🎃 KIDS 12 & UNDER EAT FREE from the kids menu with the purchase of an adult entrée!

👻 KIDS — COME IN COSTUME!
All little tricksters who show up dressed for Halloween will receive a FREE TREAT BAG! 🍬🎃

Expect amazing food, spooky vibes, wickedly good drinks, and a night worth breaking out of the house for!

⚠️ NO RESERVATION? NO PROBLEM.
Reservations are not required, but they are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED because our Steak Nights have a habit of filling the place faster than an inmate planning an escape! 🔐😂
