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.<\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n

$5 moonshine shots<\/li>\n
$5 Bear Balls<\/li>\n
$10 Jager BBQ fried bologna sandwich with a side of pepper jack mac & cheese<\/li>\n
Friday 9-midnight: Mario Monterosso Band<\/li>\n
Friday 10-midnight: Velvetina’s Speakeasy Burlesque<\/li>\n
Saturday 9-midnight: The Red Feather<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
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.<\/p>\n
