“Ahhh. It’s good to be home.”
That’s likely what I’ll be saying tonight around 5, as I squeeze a lime into my first Dos Equis Lager of the evening, one of nearly 70 beers that will be on sale for $2.75 tonight at the Flying Saucer.
It’s been a fun weekend at RiverArtsFest, and I’m glad I had Calhoun’s as an alternate base of operations while partying in the South Main area. But it’s good to be back in the core, and it will be good to be back home at the Saucer.
If you want some other Monday night options for fun, it’s trivia night at Huey’s and the Blue Monkey. Huey’s starts at 9. Not sure of the Monkey’s start time.
Plenty of cheap PBR around town tonight… it’s dollar PBR night at the Tap Room. Bardog has it for the happy hour price of $1.50 from 5 to 7, then it goes up to a still-very-reasonable $2.50. Calhoun’s has it for $1.50 all day long, every day.
Then there’s “if we turn on Monday Night Football, sell $2 34 oz. Super Cold Coors Light drafts, and $3 blue kamikazes, and $4 100 proof tequila shots, and 24 wings for $9.99, then maybe we can convince someone to come sit at the bar when Meghan is working” night at Big Foot Lodge. You can get these specials at the tables as well, if you don’t feel like listening to Meghan run her mouth while you eat and drink. They should get a continuous-loop tape player behind the bar, that plays, “Shut up, Meghan. Shut up, Meghan. Shut up Meghan,” whenever she is working. Or get a parrot or myna bird and teach it only that one phrase. Or program Buck the talking/singing deer next to the bar to say it over and over.
Then there’s basketball… the Grizzlies take on the Golden State Warriors tonight at 7 PM at the FedExForum.
So, as you can see, there’s plenty to entertain you on this Monday night. I’ll be at Pint Nite ’til I feel like I’m ready for a change of venue, then probably walk over to Bardog to finish the evening with a PBR or two.
