If you brave the weather and go out tonight, keep in mind that you have a couple of new options Downtown. First of all, this is the first day of Calhoun’s Monday night beer specials, with all beers except PBR at half-price. That means their regular domestics are $1.50 and their premium beers and imports are $2.50. Five TVs to watch Monday night football, and a friendly neighborhood crowd.
Farther north, it will be Lauren’s second night behind the bar at the Voodoo Room at Orleans on Front (aka Hoop’s new bar) from 8 to 3. They have $2 PBR cans. I went in there last night after the Dempseys finished about midnight, and the place was surprisingly full – so full that they ran out of PBR! I assume that situation will be rectified before the bar opens tonight. Glad to see the place doing well.
Then there’s the usual stuff going on:
– Pint Nite at the Flying Saucer, most pints $2.75
– Unlimited bowling at Jillian’s for $10
– Di Anne Price playing the piano in the Westin lobby
– Trivia at the Blue Monkey, 8 PM
– Trivia at Huey’s, 9 PM
– $2 34 oz. Coors Light, $3 blue kamikazes, $4 100 proof tequila shots, and $9.99 wings at Big Foot Lodge during Monday Night Football. Please be sure to tip Meghan appropriately at the bar when you buy those $2 beers. A 15% tip on a $2 beer is 30 cents. Or, if you want to be extra generous, tip her 18% or 36 cents.
My plan is to do Pint Nite, then walk over to the Voodoo Room to see Lauren. Be extra careful if you drive tonight – the forecast looks nasty. Trolleys, walking, and cabs are good alternatives to driving Downtown.
