This June, we’re once again turning up the flavor and the love with a special tradition close to our hearts: the LGBTQ+ sandwich. It’s our playful—and delicious—take on a classic, featuring lettuce, guacamole, bacon, tomato, and mayo. But more importantly, this sandwich isn’t just made with great ingredients; it’s made with purpose.
At the Players Retreat, we’re proud of many things—our food, our team, and most of all, being a safe and welcoming space since 1951. That’s why our Pride Flag flies year-round: so you know you’re always welcome here, just as you are.

Level 1: This introduction is single malts is perfect for dads who are looking to branch out and try options they wouldn’t otherwise be able to find at the liquor store. Featuring 60 different single malts, this level’ll also teach them about how scotch is expressed from the different regions of Scotland.

To boot, they’ll also have the opportunity to purchase half-pours of any of the single malts included only in Level 3!
