I don’t normally do Throwback Thursday posts, but I found this one in the archives and thought it was worth a share.<\/p>\n
From January 1, 2008: A first visit to Calhoun’s Sports Bar and Grill<\/a>, now known as Max’s Sports Bar. I went there the second day Max’s was open. The “bartender” referred to in the post was Max himself. It looks like he more or less fulfilled his vision for the place. Hard to believe that there was a time when the bar didn’t have PBR on draft, or school lunchroom pizza on the menu.<\/p>\n The 17th Floor headlines tonight’s Peabody rooftop party. Special cover charge of $15 this week. Doors open at 6, ladies free until 7. Admission includes a Backyard BBQ buffet of fried chicken legs and BBQ smoked sausage (7-8 PM). If you’re in VIP there is a second buffet of BBQ chicken, potato salad, vegetable kabobs and blueberry cobbler (7-9:30 PM). Strawberry margaritas and Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka and Lemonade will be on special.<\/p>\n LUNCHBOXeats has announced it will be open on the Fourth from 10 AM to 3 PM.<\/p>\n The Flyer has margarita fest winners<\/a> in various categories. The festival was held on the 27th and the Blue Monkey took home the big prize.<\/p>\n As I said yesterday, there won’t be a lunchtime post because I have an office fish fry. Possibly a post after work, so check back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don’t normally do Throwback Thursday posts, but I found this one in the archives and thought it was worth a share.
