Come in to Bethany Blues in Lewes for $10 food specials this month as the barbecue and bourbon joint celebrates its 10-year anniversary. 

In keeping with the 10-year theme throughout March, Bethany Blues is also offering 10 percent off merchandise, $10 Bud Light pitchers, $10 private stash bourbon tastings (while they last), and $10 10-ounce pours of Murphy Goode Wines.

On the last day of the month, Lower Case Blues and Nothin' But Trouble are playing from 5-8 p.m. for a "hog wild" anniversary celebration that includes a photo booth and additional food and drink specials.

Bethany Blues located in Lewes, Del. is celebrating their 10th Anniversary. Friday, March 9, 2019.

“We hope the community and our loyal customers will come out and join us for a party that is going to really be special and, of course, fun,” said Jessica Nathan, director of operations. 

Bethany Blues, which won last year's Best of Delaware’s Best Downstate Caterer title, has evolved over the years, taking on environmental issues with a sustainable green roof, going strawless, and using biodegradable to-go boxes instead of ones made from Styrofoam. 

Both chefs and bartenders helped the menu evolve too, using classics like Carolina chopped pork as a base for a Cuban and mixing up an Old Fashioned with smoked cherry. 

“When we say that this is a family-friendly place, it’s not just that we enjoy families coming in to dine with us, which we do," Nathan said. "But it’s beyond that—it’s part of the culture we have here, where we are treated like family by the people who employ us. It’s really special."
