Paul Ryburn’s Journal

Sunday I returned to Majestic Grille for brunch. This time I had a grilled artichoke flatbread, with leaf spinach, garlic olive oil, feta and mozzarella. More than I could finish and a bargain at $9. I shared some with our inspirational leader/father figure and we both agreed it was quite tasty. Since [...]

I saw a couple of tweets this weekend asking where to get Cheer, the seasonal beer from Shiner. Max’s Sports Bar, formerly Calhoun’s, on G.E. Patterson has it.

Oh, and F Cal.

(Updated: Right after I hit Publish I remembered that the Saucer has it too. I had one there [...]

… in this Memphis Daily News article.

It’s going to be in the Old Daisy, and it will operate as a retro dance club beginning on November 26 until they convert the building to be an interpretive center of the history of the street.

Um, interesting idea, wonder if it [...]

As I was walking to South Main on Saturday, I saw this truck parked on Beale near the Elvis statue:

According to the ad on the truck, a new dance club called Purple Haze, a retro dance club, will open this Friday at 329 Beale. It will be open Friday-Saturday from 9 PM [...]

I’m not entirely sure I have the number right, so 19 plus or minus 1. Maybe. Last night was the quarterly gathering of our trivia team, the Rapscallions, to spend the gift certificates we had won over the past three months. We didn’t have an enormous $600+ tab as we’ve had the past couple of parties. [...]

Big victory by the Hogs last night in overtime vs. Mississippi State. It was our 19th (I think) Rapscallion trivia team party where we cashed in our gift certificates for the past three months, and we watched the [...]

I just came across this info on TJ Mulligan’s Pinch website. During football games Saturday, Sunday and Monday there are drink specials including $1.75 domestic bottles and dollar PBR drafts. Wanted to pass this info along, as this is the kind of information for which people turn to this blog. With cheap beer, sports on TV [...]

Here are a few pics that were snapped last night at the Snuggie Pub Crawl. Thanks to Joe for e-mailing me the pics.

Joe in an Arkansas Razorbacks Snuggie. I very much approve.

Apologies to the people who ran the Snuggie Pub Crawl for leaving early last night… I wasn’t feeling well, which had everything to do with the birthday shots I did Thursday, and missed the last two stops on the crawl. I got a good night’s sleep and am feeling back to normal this morning.

Thanksgiving weekend is [...]

Tomorrow night, Sunday, November 21, marks the return of Sunday Suppers to the Majestic Grille. Every Sunday night through December 19, they’ll show a classic movie on the big screen, and they will offer a special three-course menu (their regular menu will be available too).

This week’s movie is Horse Feathers, a 1932 film starring the Marx [...]
