By popular demand, I'm compiling a list of great deals around town. Know of more? Post them in comments or send me an e-mail. I'll list the best deals (ongoing or otherwise) each week.
- The Attic is ZSpot on Thursdays, starting at 5:30 p.m. First 100 beers are on the house, so come early. Other specials include $2 Bud Lights and $5 Red Bull and vodkas all night.
- The Plaza Midwood Krawl on Saturday (7-11 p.m.) is free. Meander through the neighborhood's funky shops and sip on free wine.
- Every Friday is 50-cent draft night at The Pub at Gateway. Bud Light pints are 50 cents all day and all night.
- Dixie's Tavern offers a $2 beer of the month every day. This month it's Bud Select and Michelob Ultra. On Thirsty Thursdays, enjoy $1.50 Coors Light bottles and drafts.
- At Club Red's Sirens & Shields first-responders auction this Saturday, Michelob Ultras are free from 7-8:30 p.m. Nice way to warm up the bidding crowd. ($10 donation benefits the Red Cross.)
- Take a break from the bar scene and check out the monthly Cult Movie Mondays at Actor's Theatre. The theater will show "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" on Monday at 8 p.m. Admission is free and so is the popcorn. $2 Miller Lights, Yuenglings and Coors Lights.
- Cans has a special offer on Friday for March Madness: $1 domestic cans all day while you watch the games.
Maybe they ought to pay you less to party.
ReplyDeleteEds Tavern - $1.50 coors light draft - all day every day.
ReplyDeleteDilworth Neighborhood Grill - $2 coors light bottles Thursdays.
These two places have saved my wallet and killed my liver during this downturn.
Great idea, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteDuckworths on Park Rd has $2 dollar drafts on Mondays and Tuesdays and $3 dollar drafts on Wednesday and Thursdays. The drafts are all high end microbrews as well. Good deal for beer lovers.

ReplyDeleteFor heaven's sake, if you really ARE experiencing job loss or a pay reduction, consider staying home until you solve that proble so that the rest of us don't wind up supporting you through food stamps, rent subsidies, and free medical care.

So you're saying Brixx is about to become "loser central"?
ReplyDeleteBrixx has had this special for over 5 years now.
ReplyDeleteSo what's your point Tool ? Because someone lost their job due to the economy they are now losers ?
Nice, I am sure you have a cell phone full of friends..........NOT.
Claire Voyance is my SHERO!! This paid to party girl is worse than that boy Tonya.
ReplyDeleteIf you are going to insult someone, you can at least leave your name.
ReplyDeleteYou know, the internet is full of Trolls and the people here that are being negative towards Sara should just move along. She was hired to do a job and she does it to the best of her ability. Maybe I should stand outside your job and tell your boss that your function should be outsourced to india because they can do it cheaper, faster and better than you can. Grow up.
ReplyDeleteCell phone full of friends? That is simply too shallow to respond to.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes: if you've lost your job and you think finding a cheap beer is important you are indeed a loser and will in all likelihood remian one until you grow up.
The pink slips are flyin’, it’s true,
ReplyDeleteIt’s enough to make all of us blue,
But martinis are poured
So no one is bored,
And who knows, we might get lucky, too!
A good one in the NODA district is Revolutions. It is at the corner of 36th and North Davidson.
ReplyDeleteTuseday Night - Date Night $20 dinner for two, includes two salads or appetizer, two meals, and two gelatos. Their gelato is wonderful!
Thursday Night is $3 pint night. This includes every beer on the menu, even micro brews. They have a ton of beer on tap and in stock. There are other specials, not too sure about them. Definitely check this place out! This is a great idea Sarah! I can't speak for the older crowd, but the younger Charlotteans love you! Keep up the great work, know things are tough over there right now.
Boardwalk Billies has $2 beer of the month and sometimes $2 domestic drafts. Located at Sardis Road North and Monroe Road and University at Harris Blvd. and Tryon St.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for those at The Observer who lost their jobs and the author still has one.
ReplyDeletehey cell phone full of friends, how about a little sensitivity to people who have lost their jobs. they need to have a good time for cheap. is your mom available?
ReplyDeleteDrinking is my job. My cell phone only has three friends stored: Jack Daniels, Jim Beam and Johnny Walker.S
ReplyDeleteDixies has $2 bud selects and mich ultras??? YUMMMMM! ha, what they don't tell you here is every other type of beer in the place is $4+. stay away, if you really need or like watered down beer go get them for $1 at Vinnie's South End.

ReplyDeletePucketts Farm Equipment on the corner of Sugar Creek & Mallard Creek always has cheap cold beer!
ReplyDeletethat is amazing that the observer is cutting back and firing people and yet this girl gets paid to tell us what we could figure out ourselves by browsing through a creative loafing. at least tell us something we don't know...
