Tickets are $46 per person. We will contact you prior to the event to determine what you would like to paint. The bar will be open for additional drink purchases and there will be a food truck on site if you wish to purchase food.

There is limited space at this event so buy your tickets early to ensure a spot. All attendees must have a ticket as there is no additional room for non-painters at this event. This is a family friendly event, and you will be able to take home your masterpiece at the end of the event.

Hank's Filling Station 4301 Colley ave, Norfolk, VA, United States, Virginia 23508

March 4th is a big day at Hank’s, and you’re invited to the party. We’re kicking off our Spring Grand Opening and rolling straight into a Fat Tuesday Celebration you won’t want to miss. That’s right, starting on March 4th, we’re open seven days a week through next fall, and we’re bringing the flavor, the fun, and the kind of good times you can only find at Hank’s.

Fat Tuesday Feasting Done Right

You can’t have a proper Fat Tuesday without some seriously good eats, and we’re serving up all the Cajun goodness. We’re talking about mini king cakes, Cajun cabbage jambalaya, andouille sausage, and shrimp mac-n-cheese that’ll have you coming back for seconds. Maybe even thirds.

Hurricane Crush & Gator Punch Crush

A party like this calls for drinks that know how to have a good time. Our Hurricane Crushes and Gator Punch Crushes bring the New Orleans spirit straight to Norfolk. Bright, bold, and built for celebrating, they’ll have you raising a glass and asking for another round.

Mardi Gras Beads, Music, and a Backyard Bash

It wouldn’t be Fat Tuesday without beads, and we’ve got plenty to go around. Throw in festive music and the best backyard hangout in town, and you’ve got a celebration worthy of the occasion. Whether you’re here for the food, the drinks, the music, or just to soak up the good vibes, Hank’s is the place to be.

Mark Your Calendar and Bring Your Crew

March 4th is the day to get here early and stay late. Hank’s Filling Station is back to seven days a week, and we’re starting things off in the best way possible. Grab your friends, come hungry, and get ready to celebrate. See you at Hank’s
