Groupon: Redbones, $15 for $30.

[thespian.livejournal.com]

So I was sick, and last night I just thought 'I will go to sleep now, and just check the deal sites in the morning.' That'll learn me.

$15 for $30 at Redbones. Woot.

Please note if has a pretty short turn around; these need to be used by May 31, 2011. However they have changed from their last offer, which was 1 per table; you can use 2 per table for groups of 4 or more. Not for take out.

Not that I don't trust Groupon, but Redbones used to have g.c. on restaurant.com and I had bought a few and then found out they were not going to honor them after all, which was a total drag. Have people successfully used groupons at Redbones?

[thespian.livejournal.com]

Lots of people have. When they offered this at the Beginning of December, 2009, there was a mad rush, and I've been taken out to dinner there on groupons for much of 2010.

(I remember the timing of the last offer because I used mine at my birthday celebration at Redbones, and my birthday is December 15th ;-) )

I had no trouble using mine the last go-around.

booze only

does anybody know if the groupon can be used for booze only (not dinner). The food is not my type thing, but I really like their booze selection.

This question is coming up in the groupon discussion:
http://www.groupon.com/deals/redbones-bbq-boston/posts

My interpretation is "redbones thinks it's good for food-with-booze, not for booze-only, but they didn't say that in their fine print, so there may be argument."

Thanks. That's a really helpful link. I guess it's gonna be a succotash & salad meal + plenty of bourbon.

Sadly, they were sold out before I got home from work. But the deal w/ alcohol, as I understand it, is that the booze cost can not exceed what you paid for the groupon, due to state laws against subsidizing alcohol. So on a $15 for $30 groupon, you can get up to $15 of booze, because then they can say that you paid for all the alcohol, and only your food was discounted, and they don't get in trouble.

It's recommended to give them the Groupon first so that you don't get surprised if they decide that what you are having doesn't qualify.

agreed - if i have any type of payment other than cash i usually mention it up front just so there's no confusion. (i have a gift card, i want to split the bill, i have a coupon, i have a gift visa, etc.) it's the polite thing to do and will save you any possible hassle :D

I've had problems logging in today too; found it to vary by browser; try using chrome.

what was the decision on not having these posts any more? just saying, i've seen notice of this groupon a dozen times and it's a bit annoying :P also, it sold out mid afternoon.

By the time I finally closed the poll, the vote was 84-80-54 in favor of "let them stay", so we're not changing the rules.

Even if I'd closed the poll earlier, there was never a substantial majority (more than a 5-vote margin or so) in favor of "banish them".
