Leesburg's Girls Night Out - with the Guys

Traditionally the third Thursday of the month is "Girls Night Out" in downtown Leesburg.  Local businesses join together to welcome people to the historic district and enjoy their specials and sales.

This month, the guys were invited to come out as well and several restaurants joined in the action. 

MacDowell Brew Kitchen offered drink specials, half-price fried pickles, and a deal on their fish and chips meal. 

"We are expecting a good crowd, this is the first time we are participating and it is exciting for us," co-owner Nils Schnibbe said.

MacDowell is also planning an event Saturday to launch their three new beers:wheat, Christmas pale ale and oak-aged oatmeal style. They are calling it "The Day After the World Ends" party. 

The Wine Kitchen participated on Thursday night with a wine flight for the guys showcasing wines that are rare and full-bodied paired with a local steak special.  For the ladies, they offered glasses of a Prosecco rose. 

Other restaurants involved were Palio Ristorante Italiano and Blue Mountain Cafe. 

"It's a great night to come out and it's been going well," Wine Kitchen's manager Michael said,
