If you’re coming to the Bob Dylan show at AutoZone Park, and aren’t sure where to park your car, I have a suggestion. Park in the South Main area where there is ample free parking. Go to the Double J Smokehouse and Saloon which is one block east of Main on G.E. Patterson Avenue. You can park for free in the vicinity, and they have cold PBR and other beers on tap as well as ribs, steaks, and more. When you’re ready Double J’s limo will take you to the concert for FREE. They’ll pick you up and bring you back too, and you can eat and drink to your heart’s content after the show. Best parking deal Downtown for concerts, and remember them this fall for Grizzlies games too.
Speaking of the Double J, they were featured in Meet the Bartender last week on the Commercial Appeal website.
There are a couple of Fourth of July celebrations happening Downtown, and they are actually happening on the Fourth this year as they should. One will be at Mud Island River Park. Starts at 6:00 PM, free, concessions available, tube tops recommended as attire, fireworks at 9:45. The other is the Redbirds post-game, first pitch at 6:05, fireworks after the game (so probably before the Mud Island fireworks), buffet option available. All-you-can-eat buffet? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up.
Front St. Deli is back with a limited menu. View it here.
I hate tennis but if you don’t, the Brass Door is having a Wimbledon Finals party Sunday at 9 AM. Pimm’s Cup and Pitchers, Strawberries and Cream, Scones, English Tea. $15 mimosa bottles, $15 Bloody Mary pitchers.
Eating sheesh kabob from City Market’s grab-n-go section as I type this drunk post. Back at lunchtime tomorrow probably.
