milkboy-badmovie

Milkboy Philadelphia will be screening Big Trouble in Little China this Monday, May 20, as part of its Bad Movie Monday series. Big Trouble is one of those classic 1980′s movies that is so bad that it is actually great (or at least that’s what Jason Sheehan says). Milkboy will be offering drink specials and its usual dinner menu in conjunction with the free screening. Doors open at 8 p.m. for the 8:30 p.m. start time.

Check out the trailer for Big Trouble in Little China here.

A Six Pack Round Up

Posted by Foobooz on May 3rd, 2012

We’ve got a handful of Six Packs under our belt and have really enjoyed putting them together. We’ve also liked the additions readers been able to add. We had no idea Memphis Taproom was going to be showing Twin Peaks all summer long and we’re happy to see that Stateside offers a dollar oyster happy hour weekdays between 5 and 7 p.m. Check out our Six Packs so far and expect to see more in the coming weeks and months.

If there’s a subject you would like to see turned into a Six Pack, drop us a note in the comments.
