I’ve been gathering a list of Thanksgiving Day bar opening times Downtown… when you’re full of turkey and ready to get away from the family, there are plenty of places you can go to get a beer or a drink.<\/p>\n
If you know of others I missed email paul@paulryburn.com and I will add them. Also don’t forget to check I Love Memphis<\/a> and Choose 901<\/a> for their holiday guides.<\/p>\n Geoff Calkins’ The 9:01<\/a> daily column is an interesting read today. It talks about plans to redevelop The Pinch, comparing South Main and The Pinch to Downtown Minneapolis and Downtown St. Paul, only a few miles apart.<\/p>\n The Ghost River taproom is having two drawings tonight<\/a> for Grizz vs. Heat tickets for Friday. The first will happen at 6 PM, and the second at halftime of tonight’s game. Ghost River will have the Grizzlies vs. the Sixers on their three TVs tonight and beer will be pouring from their 12 taps. If you’re going to a Thanksgiving potluck and don’t cook, a growler or two from Ghost River would be a fine thing to bring. A growler is a 64-ounce glass container of craft beer, for those not in the know (I thought everyone knew but I had to explain what one is and why I might bring one to a Friendsgiving event this week).<\/p>\n Speaking of Friday’s Grizzlies game, there will be puppy races at halftime, and you will be able to adopt rescue pups.<\/p>\n Former Tennessee District 9 rep Harold Ford Jr. is being considered for a position in the Trump Cabinet<\/a>, possibly as Transportation secretary.<\/p>\n Lyfe is Dope has an event<\/a> at the New Daisy tonight. The production and clothing company presents events and pop-ups around the Mid-South. Tickets are $20 in advance, $30 at the door, and the event is 18 and up.<\/p>\n Memphis supergroup The Pirates reunite at Loflin Yard<\/a> Saturday night from 10 to 1.<\/p>\n That’s it. Work closes at 3, so I will be out by 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been gathering a list of Thanksgiving Day bar opening times Downtown… when you’re full of turkey and ready to get away from the family, there are plenty of places you can go to get a beer or a drink.
