While I love, love, love the holidays, you can only spend so much time at family functions. And even though today is a Monday, I think a Skee-Ball tournament could help everyone decompress. Each Monday Kung Fu hosts a Skee Ball tournament with drink specials, prizes and tons of fun. Plus you get the chance

Happy Thanksgiving Austin, Texas. Thank you to all those serving overseas so that we can enjoy this wonderful holiday with family and friends. Thank you to all the blog followers. You are all such an inspiration to keep the blog going, and thank you to all my friends (Chris Cobb, especially) that make this blog

Since it is “Movember,” it seemed like the perfect time to celebrate Mustache Monday. Besides, who doesn’t love putting on a mustache and having a few cold ones? It seems like the perfect way to get your week started. You can bring your own home-grown Movember mustache, or wear one of the complimentary ones from

I’m on a tight budget with the holidays coming up, so the promise of a $3 happy hour pizza is enough to get me to go just about anywhere. I first discovered this little sports bar during the World Series. It’s pretty small, but it’s a really chill, low-key place to catch a casual drink

Few things sound better on a hot August night than a cold beer. I also think going to a winery or a brewery and seeing the process just makes things taste better. Tonight is a chance to get behind the scenes and take an in-depth look at the brewing process at Uncle Billy’s, followed by

After a weekend full of family friendly events I thought it would be nice to have some adult fun today. Since we’re back to the daily grind, a glass of local wine at the end of the day seems like just what the doctor ordered. The featured local vendor at this “Drink Local” event is

It should come as no surprise that Barley Swine is fantastic, as it was started by the same family that brought us Odd Duck and Jack Allen’s. It’s definitely most similar to the Odd Duck, offering a collection of small, tapa-sized dishes that are nothing short of spectacular. The first time I went there I

Friday was “Take Your Dog To Work Day,” but unfortunately, some workplaces don’t recognize it as a national holiday. So Lustre Pearl is having its own take on the day with “Take Your Dog To The Bar Weekend.” In my opinion, man’s best friend should always be allowed to tag along at the bar. And

What better way to get your weekend started than a free food and wine party? This event has just about everything an Austinite is looking for — local live music, food from local vendors and a sampling of wines. I love wine tastings. It’s a fun way to discover new wines without having to randomly

I’ve enjoyed a messy tequila Tuesday, and let me assure you that a nice champagne Thursday is much more enjoyable. Austin has two Cru locations, one in the Domain and one on Second Street. I love the Second Street location. I can’t get enough of it, and Thursday is my favorite night because it’s usually
