New menu pairs dinner and drinks for just $12, leaving no excuse for an evening on the couch

The ‘night out’ is in danger, as dinner, drinks and amusement are just one click away thanks to the latest innovations in meal delivery and streaming entertainment. The cost: your social life. The better option: TGI Fridays new Dine & Drink Menu, giving you a reason to get off of the couch and go out with friends without breaking the bank.

Now guests can enjoy #FridayFeels any day of the week with their choice of an entrée and beverage, including liquor, beer or wine, bundled for $12 (AKA way less than you’d pay with that food delivery service).  The new Dine & Drink menu, available through June 19 at participating restaurants, will inspire couch potatoes to assemble a posse and have a #Partyfor12: choose one of Fridays new entrées and an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage just for $12

“It’s time to trade a night in with the DVR for some real face time with friends,” said Brian Gies, Chief Marketing Officer. “With countless options on our new Dine & Drink menu and a great atmosphere for some serial socializing, Fridays is a no-brainer to break that stay-in slump.”

The Fridays menu offers pairing suggestions based on trending entrées and flavors so guests can “choose-their-own-culinary-adventure” by mixing and matching however they want.

“We developed the Dine & Drink menu based on current food trends, ensuring that we give our guests unique flavor combinations that you can’t get anywhere else or make at home,” said Dan Dillon, Vice President of Menu Innovation “Delicious options like Sriracha Shrimp Naan’wich with seasoned fries and a Blackberry Margarita will make even your best friends have food envy.”

The new Dine & Drink menu also remixes throwback fan favorites, like the Beef Stroganoff Pasta, and introduces new dishes like the Hot Southern Chicken with spicy ghost pepper honey sauce to get things turned-up, flavor-wise. To complement the “dine,” drink specials include premium craft beers, wines and high quality, hand-crafted cocktails complete with fresh fruit.
