Wed update 3: Pub at the Brass Door to open Friday, crawfish buffet @ Redbirds Thursday

Normally I wouldn’t bother with a post containing only two news items, but these are GOOD items.

First of all, The Pub at the Brass Door is scheduled to open Friday. The Brass Door as it has existed for four years is re-branding itself a bit more upscale, with a nice dinner menu. The room next door, formerly The Mad Earl, will be the Brass Door’s pub, with an elevated stage and 14 TVs. They want it to be a venue for people who love sports. They also plan on opening in the mornings so people staying in nearby hotels can get coffee and breakfast. Friday is the day that both the Brass Door proper and the pub will be open.

The Brass Door has kind of fallen out of my rotation of bars the past month (through no fault of its own) but I will have to check it out at least by the end of the weekend, if not Friday. The pub sounds like it could be a good place to watch the Olympics this summer.

The second news item is that there will be a crawfish buffet at AutoZone Park tomorrow night, Thursday, June 9, with 350 special Field Box tickets that include this buffet available. The tickets are $21. The buffet will be in the left-field picnic area. First pitch against the Colorado Sky Sox will be at 7:05. College students with valid ID can get a left-field bluff seat for $5 and also $2 beer. There will be a block party in the plaza prior to the game.

There’s more news but I’ll save it for tomorrow. Heading out to happy hour now.
