Espolòn Is Taking Over Local Venues With Tarot, Tooth Gems and Weeknight Drink Specials
Raise your glass to mischief with these midweek festivities happening at a bar near you.
In partnership with 
Weekends get a lot of credit for being the ideal time for side quests, personal plot development and just general mischief. Maybe it's the spare time suddenly afforded by those of us chained to the weekly 9-5. But it's time to diversify your weekly routine, no? So, Espolòn Tequila presents Midweek Mischief: a midweek exclusive takeover of a handful of venues in Sydney and Melbourne to do just that, running from now until the end of the month. Here's how, and where, to find it.
Ramòn's Bell
Spontaneity is a key ingredient in any good mischief-seeking quest, and when you're looking for a truly good time, you need to chase the unexpected. So, when visiting any of the venues participating in the Midweek Madness festivities, there's a sound you need to keep your ears open for.
When the pink Ramòn's Bell tolls, it's time for your next round — it signals that limited edition Espolòn cocktails are pouring, so chase the unknown and go get your order in before the bar line is ten heads deep.
Bones Blast
It's not just bells that you'll need to watch for. At select moments throughout the night, you'll want to keep your eyes on the air for fluttering calavera-style bills and the pink Bones Blaster that they're being fired from. While it's not actual usable currency, select bills in the flurry are vouchers that, when found and presented to the bar staff, will land you a complimentary Espolòn voucher.
Rowdy Raffles
If the bell or bills let you down, or general awareness and speed of getting in line at the bar isn't on your side, then don't worry — you're not completely down and out from the chance to get some goodies. For the duration of Midweek Madness, the purchase of any drink with Espolòn Tequila will reward you with half of a raffle ticket. Should Lady Luck be on your side, your raffle stub will land you a bundle of Espolòn RTDs and merch before the night is through.
Card Games
Raffles aren't the only thing you'll get if you order something with Espolòn Tequila, you'll also be given a deck of cards and instructions for three Mexican card games, ideal if the conversation back at the table needs some extra stimuli. The games? Conquián, a Mexican spin on Rummy, Brisca, a game of trumps and trick hands, and Burro, where slow reaction times make you a real donkey. All the games are suitable for three players or more, and you can keep the cards after the night concludes.
Tarot, Illustrations, Tooth Gems and Live Music
Beyond everything we've mentioned so far, there are some offers of entertainment exclusives to certain destinations. In Sydney, the Light Brigade will play host to illustrator Belinda Xia, who will be drawing Calavera-style caricatures every Thursday this month. In Melbourne, CBD bar Spleen will host on-stage tarot readings every Wednesday, and Monday nights at Republica Economica could see you go home with a set of sparkly tooth gems.
And of course, what would be a night out without live music? Across five of the participating venues, you'll find DJs and live bands performing every Wednesday or Thursday night throughout the month. Read on for the specific details.
