2016 Eccentric Day: More than 60 beers, free eccentric food buffet, 8 featured acts and more...

2016 Bell's Eccentric Day

Our 13th Annual Eccentric Day is nearly upon us and we've been brewing up an array of beers for your alter ego.

This year’s tap list will feature more than 60 rotating beers, including our 2015 Eccentric Ale and a few surprises. If this wasn’t enough, our chefs sought far and wide for peculiar cuisine truly deserving of the day. And best of all, our food buffet is free, while it lasts.

Throughout the day we'll have eight featured performers to help you bring out your alter ego.

Doors for our annual event held at Bell’s Eccentric Café will open at 9 a.m. on Friday, December 9.

To enter, you must be at least 21 and dressed for the occasion (hint: come as you aren’t!). For exclusive updates, follow our Facebook event
