There’s a Downtown Groupon deal today: $7 for $15 worth of food at Cockadoos<\/a>. Great place to eat breakfast, and they serve lunch too. On the weekends they open at midnight and stay open until 3 PM.<\/p>\n

A new Jamaican restaurant called Evelyn & Olive is opening in the Edge district at 630 Madison. You can view their website here<\/a>. They have a menu online in Word (.docx) format.<\/p>\n

Today is the last day to donate to St. Jude through causes.com and have your gift doubled. They will double up to $50K in donations. Donate here.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Blind Bear has announced a new happy hour Monday-Friday until 8 PM. $1 off well liquor, domestic bottles and house wines. They open at 6 most nights, but on Fridays they are going to start opening at 5.<\/p>\n

’60s British Invasion cover band Jeffrey and the Pacemakers play Downtown Huey’s Sunday night at 8:30. They’ve also secured a date at the Cavern, the Brass Door’s underground performance space, on February 25. I’m told there are plans in the works for them to possibly play the REAL Cavern in Liverpool, where the Beatles were the house band 1961-63. Wouldn’t that be a dream come true?<\/p>\n

Tonight is the first night you can enter to win the Fat Tire bike the Flying Saucer is giving away. Just buy a New Belgium Fat Tire pint to enter (make sure you ask for entry form). Today and for the 4 Tuesdays following, Fat Tire will be on Fire Sale for $3. Drawing for the bike will be February 21. If you’re looking for an excuse to come drink at the Saucer, there’s trivia tonight at 7:30 and 10.<\/p>\n

It’s also trivia night with Kevin Cerrito at Ferraro’s Pizzeria and Pub. There’s a prize for best team name every week. Last week’s winning team name: “On a Scale from Casey Anthony to Jerry Sandusky, How Much Do You Like Kids?” Trivia starts at 8 PM, and there are $1 PBR and Rolling Rock draft specials.<\/p>\n

It’s also trivia night at Silly Goose. Posted start time is 8 PM.<\/p>\n

The Green Beetle debuts their spaghetti night tonight, with a regular-sized plate of spaghetti and meatballs for $5. If you want wine with dinner they’ll have bottles of merlot and pinot grigio for $12.<\/p>\n

And, of course, it’s poker night at the Blind Bear, which is where I’ll be tonight. I’ll start off at the Saucer for happy hour ($1 off most drafts) at 6, then wander over to the Bear at 8 for poker with Jamie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
