WICKED WEATHER WEEKEND...

The Big Apple got walloped over the weekend with monsoon-like weather, the likes of which I've never seen before. Appropriately enough, the crazy weather would have to come on the weekend, when we do the most business. When I say it rained all weekend, it RAINED all weekend. From the occasional drizzle to savage downpours, we literally got drenched all weekend long. With all of that nasty rain coming down, who wants to go out in that?

I have to give props to those who braved the elements to come out anyway. If I wasn't working most of the weekend, I'm pretty sure I would have stayed home myself, that's how bad it was. And not only was there a shitload of rain, it was very windy too. So windy in fact, that lots of damage caused by fallen trees, signs, poles caused power outages throughout the city. The wind and rain even caused havoc with our satellite dishes, knocking out our signals periodically throughout the weekend. The Pacquiao/Clottey boxing match was scheduled on Saturday night and we decided not to carry the fight, a main reason having to do with the hectic weather. Nothing worse than trying to deal with blood-thirsty Pacquiao fans ready to riot because we lost the picture during their hero's fight.

Hopefully the worst of it is behind us and we're on to better weather for the upcoming week. This is a busy week for the bar, and here's what you can look forward to:
TONIGHT: "Beer Bingo Mondays", featuring a night of Bingo where you can win cool prizes and free beers and enjoy $1 mugs of Bud/Bud Light/Coors Light (or upgrade to all other domestic drafts for an extra buck).


TUESDAY: St. Patrick's Pre-Game Party, with $1 Bud/Bud Light mugs, and $7 "Dew and a Brew" (a shot of Tullamore Dew and mug of Killian's Red) all night long!


WEDNESDAY: St. Patrick's Day: Bar's open at 10 am for your parade pre-gaming and we roll all day and night with giveaways a plenty! Bring your "A" game!

SATURDAY/SUNDAY: The MADNESS continues with "Kick the Keg", featuring $2 mugs, all beers on tap* (except selected brands), 12-7pm. ALL NCAA MARCH MADNESS GAMES here!

We're also hosting the first annual SUPERHERO OLYMPICS on Saturday, March 20th! A unique take on the hit TV show, "The Amazing Race", teams will be racing around Manhattan, dressed as SUPERHEROES to various bars, performing tasks and gathering clues to reach the final destination (a secret, of course)! If you and your friends are interested in participating, there's a limited number of slots left. You can get more information about the big race HERE!

Have a great week!


That's It. That's All I Got.
