The Memphis Business Journal reports that a new lounge called The Silly Goose will open in the space formerly occupied by Swig by December. It will be operated by several partners who know the area well, including Daniel Masters who used to bartend at Dan McGuinness. It will be a laid-back lounge, the article states, a place for locals to go, with over 400 different types of liquor. They’ll have plenty of wine and beer on hand too. They’ll serve lunch and dinner, and will have a happy hour from 3 to 8 PM and a second happy hour from 11 PM to 3 AM. I can’t wait for this place to open.
Fun times at Big Foot’s party last night. I got there at 8 before the place got crowded and drank a Super Cold Coors Light. Several times I’ve noticed the Super Cold machine and thought, wow, they made it look like it’s covered in ice. Well, last night I found out how they did it… it really is ice all over the machine. So you truly are getting beer at below-freezing temperatures.
They had Meghan out from behind the bar, hostessing in a low-cut blouse and one of her old Flying Saucer miniskirts and not serving any customers. Truly Big Foot has discovered how to best utilize Meghan’s talents. My compliments to whomever placed a fan near the kitchen entrance, which blew her skirt up every time she walked by.
Plans for tonight: None whatsoever. I need a good night’s rest to be ready to go for the Cooper-Young Festival tomorrow. I’ve decided I’m going to ride my bike down there… I plan on getting there around 10:30, and will be at the festival until it ends at 7. Mmmm… looking forward to a day of festival food. Gyros and pizza and stuff. I hope those nachos from Germantown Commissary are back this year. I also hope that the convenience store at Cooper and Evelyn has stocked up on PBR tall-boys.
More news later… check back.
