Drink of the week: $1 margaritas every day

Posted By on Tue, Jul 6, 2010 at 12:26 PM

classic_margarita

Like many people, tequila and I have a love/hate relationship. I love it at night, and it hates me in the morning. Oy. But a refreshing margarita in a salt-brimmed glass is perfect for this hot weather.

This week, our food critic Tricia Childress reviews San Antonio's Modern Mexican, located in the SouthPark area. In her review, she relays to her readers that the restaurant offers $1 margaritas every day. Here's an excerpt:

Aside from this, we scarfed up a ton of comfort in the guacamole, made without flair but with lively chatter tableside, and the Galveston crab claws. The claws were fun especially paired with the one dollar margaritas, part of the restaurant's appeal. This popular margarita special is served all day, all night. A varied margarita list and 60 tequilas are on hand as well.

Read the full review here, and for more information on the eatery, visit www.SanAntoniosMM.com.

There's something strangely exciting about wearing pajamas outside of the bedroom, like it's forbidden or something. Tonight at Closet Nightclub, folks are encouraged to dress in their nighttime best for Positive Pajama Party. And though comfy clothes and zzz's go hand in hand, don't even think about falling asleep. There will be enough entertainment to keep you wide awake, including a performance by comedian Dave Martin and more. Proceeds from the event are for a good cause and benefit Artists And Angels Against Aids/HIV outreach programs. For more information, visit www.artistsandangelsagainstaids.org. $5 donation requested before 10 p.m.; $10 after 10 p.m. Closet Nightclub, 1202 Charlottetowne Ave.

Grand opening: Club Second World

Posted By on Thu, Jul 1, 2010 at 10:26 AM

First the old warehouse building down Davidson Street almost to Sugar Creek was Club Eclipse — kind of scary.

Then it changed over to Dammit Janet — and the 1970s came back. Briefly.

And now, Club Second World has emerged.

More information about the spot coming soon.

Take half off pub fare at Icehouse Southend

Posted By on Thu, Jul 1, 2010 at 10:06 AM

Don't you love Groupon deals?

Today's deal is for Icehouse Southend, the newest sports bar to open in SouthEnd. Spend $15 for $30 worth of food, craft beers at more.

IceHouse

Not sure what you're getting yourself into? Here's the description from the e-mail blast:

A glowing blue sign above the front doors welcomes diners into a huge, swanky restaurant and sports bar with a gargantuan menu and beer list to match. The Icehouse menu mingles Far East fare and south-of-the-border savories with a sprinkle of American tastes to glue it all together. Start off with the slow-smoked hot-chili-garlic grilled wings ($5 half dozen, $10 dozen) or the Thai beef salad, a bounty of shaved cabbage, soba noodles, carrots, cucumbers, and sesame-ginger dressing ($12). Fulfill your dark desires with the blackened pepper-jack burger ($9 small, $12 large), which you can scotch tape to a cup of chili. Seafarers can sample a catch of oven-roasted rainbow trout ($12-$16) with smoked-tomato succotash and sweet-potato fritters, while pig-farers can nosh a savory smoked- and pulled-pork quesadilla, topped with cheddar jack, caramelized onions, fire-roasted salsa, and sour cream ($9).

Your Groupon is also good for drinks, which you can guzzle in modern sporty style among pool tables and two floors of hi-def TVs while a translucent roof shines rays upon the noggin of your unsuspecting neighbor. Icehouse's beer-slinging bartenders pour a dazzling array of more than 200 brews, including local suds such as the Big Boss Blanco Diablo on draft ($4.50) and the Duck-Rabbit Amber Ale in a bottle ($4). Or expand your beer horizons with a Japanese Kirin Ichiban ($4). Icehouse also features a massive outdoor patio for those tired of the monotony of indoor weather patterns.

What a great way to try out a new spot on the cheap!
