Earlier this week I posted that St. Jude runners can get 20% off food at Bardog today and tomorrow if they show a runner’s bib or a medal. I have now found out that offer also applies to Downtown’s other Aldo restaurants, Slider Inn and Aldo’s Pizza Pies.
Monday is the 89th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition, and the Blind Bear is celebrating. From tonight beginning at 9 PM through close of business Monday, you can get the following specials:
- $5 moonshine shots
- $5 Bear Balls
- $10 Jager BBQ fried bologna sandwich with a side of pepper jack mac & cheese
- Friday 9-midnight: Mario Monterosso Band
- Friday 10-midnight: Velvetina’s Speakeasy Burlesque
- Saturday 9-midnight: The Red Feather
Don’t forget, the Bear is bought out for a private party from 5:30 to 9:00 this evening. I recommend happy hour with Dani at Bardog as an alternate, and that’s where I plan to be.

OMG I tried the candied yams as a side on Local on Main’s $12 lunch (noon to 3 Monday-Friday). They are SO good. Do not miss out on them.
