Tue update: Bardog, Opera week @ Majestic Grille, fundraiser at BB’s tonight, win Jessica Simpson shoes, and more

Last night I stopped by Bardog Tavern for to-go food, and noticed a couple of changes since the last time I looked at their menu.

First of all, I noticed that they now have free delivery for a limited area Downtown, between opening time and 10 PM. If you’re between Jefferson on the north, Peabody Place on the south, Riverside on the west, and Third on the east, you can get their food delivered. Call 275-8752 to place an order.

Secondly, I noticed that they’re staying open an hour later on Sundays now… closing time is now 1 AM, rather than midnight.

Their air guitar contest is tonight at 6:30 PM.

It’s Opera Week at the Majestic Grille in honor of Faust at the Orpheum. They’ll have specials all weeks for ticket holders, and they’ll show opera classics on the big screen. In addition, Opera Memphis will hold live performances at the restaurant Wednesday and Friday of this week from noon to 1 PM.

Don’t forget that tonight is the Corey Osborn Let the Music Play fundraiser tonight at BB King’s, to raise money Memphis musicians in need and for the “Queen of Beale Street,” Ruby Wilson. Corey’s note will be unveiled on Beale at 5:30, and at 7:30, the roster of entertainers listed below will take the stage:

Bobby Blue Bland
The Beale Street Flippers
Brian “Breeze” Cayolle
Joyce Cobb
Delta Cappella
The Dempseys
Kallen Esperian
The Kattawar Brothers
Rusty Lemmon
Niko Lyras
Rhoney G.
Preston Shannon
Jason D. Williams

There will also be a raffle for a 65-carat ruby donated by Mednikow.

Ladies, this looks to be a good week to hit the Red Rooster party Thursday night after the rooftop parties let out… this week’s “Chicklette of the Week” will win a Jessica Simpson shoe collection.

Speaking of rooftop parties… the Dempseys play the Madison Thursday night. Is anyone going? Usually the Dempseys are enough to sway me in the direction of the Madison for sure, but with the great weather being predicted I’d kinda rather be at the Peabody, or on the patio at the Silly Goose or at the window of the Saucer. If I know people that are for-sure going to the Dempseys, I may do it… just don’t want to be on that tiny rooftop knowing very few people in the crowd.

Back to work… trivia tonight at 7.
