The tall, multi-colored, Spanish-style building is deceptively nestled between a McDonald’s to its left and a row of frat houses to its right — but this gem is a staple restaurant for townies, Purdue students, and West Lafayette visitors alike. Not only is the location and look of Town & Gown intriguing, but the spot now offers a Thursday deal on mimosas that is sure to spark some interest.

While Town & Gown Bistro serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day until 11 p.m., the spot is especially known for their brunch meals and beautiful patio setting embellished with stunning flowers for when the weather is suitable. The restaurant also boasts a deal for mimosas on Thursdays to help bring in business on a normally less-crowded time. With a number of local West-Lafayette bars, ice cream shops, and a movie theater within walking distance of the place, a pitcher of mimosas with your dinner at Town & Gown could be the first stop for your eventful evening.

According to co-owner Regen O’Neill, the mimosa deal is paired on Thursday with their all day breakfast menu. Town & Gown serves half-priced mimosa pitchers, regularly priced at $14, all day long. While half- priced mimosas served all day on Thursdays might seem like an uncommon deal, O’Neill surveyed all of her student workers with Thursday deal options and decided to implement the most popular choice. “We really hope to see more patrons start their Thursday nights here with breakfast for dinner and a pitcher of mimosas!” said O’Neill.
