The editorial take
Barracuda Bistro & Bar runs a drinks-led calendar with recurring weekly specials. Mojito Martes brings $5 mojitos and arepas all night, Wine Wednesday offers $5 glasses of wine or sangria, and Thursday means BOGO cocktails with Sonia. The schedule gives the cocktail and wine programs clear, repeatable value, though the format relies on weekly promotions rather than a deep, named list.
