The Majestic Grille will hold a celebration from 5 to 6:30 PM this afternoon to announce their newest arts partner – the Memphis Music Foundation<\/a>.\u00a0 The first 20 people to donate $50 or more to the Foundation will receive a $25 gift certificate to the Majestic Grille.\u00a0 There will be complimentary hors d’oeuvres, beer, and wine at the reception.\u00a0 Free food?\u00a0 Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up.<\/p>\n

Down the street, there will be a Rendezvous Alley Party tonight featuring The Dempseys and The Soul Shockers.\u00a0 Music will start at\u00a06 and will continue well into the evening; food, beer, and wine vendors, plus info on great organizations like Mpact Memphis.\u00a0 Rendezvous Alley runs north from Union between Second and Third, across from the Peabody.<\/p>\n

In addition to the alley party, other stuff going on tonight: It’s glass night at the Saucer, with a Yazoo Oktoberfest glass that I’ve been told comes with a free T-shirt. I heard there are only 110 of these, so better get there right at 7 if you want one. $3 Pint Night at South of Beale. Wine Down Wednesdays at Silly Goose with $3 glasses of wine and $4 sangrias. It’s poker night in the Underdog Room at Bardog Tavern – real tables, real blind structure just like Vegas.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Bardog – if you’re not on their e-mail list, you need to get on. Among other things, Aldo writes about what Chef Demitrie has been dreaming up in the kitchen – this week he mentioned white bean chili, Scallops with Pea and Potato Hash, Shrimp and Spaghetti Alfredo, and Double Cut Pork Chops. Firecracker Shrimp is mentioned as a possible future project. I wish I could convince them to get on Twitter and start tweeting their specials.<\/p>\n

I unfortunately won’t make it to the alley party tonight, but I have two very good reasons for missing it – free beer and free food.\u00a0 I’ll explain why in the next post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
