Wednesday Pub Night #91 - 8:00 at Spring Lounge

Back to the Pub Night home page

Happy belated Groundhogs Day !! If you feel like braving the forecasted storm tonight, join us in Soho, at the Spring Lounge, a nice neighborhood joint. According to themselves,

"Spring Lounge (as it is known today) has a long colorful history. It originally opened (illegally) in the 1920s as a "to go" shop that filled buckets of beer for take out. In the 1940s, it was known as Chappy's and in the 1960s it became Wilson's 10:30 (named for the starting time of the crap games held nightly in the basement, as evidence by the craps table recently unearthed there during recent renovations). Although it was named the Spring Lounge in the 1970s, it was known in the neighborhood as the Shark Bar, for the large stuffed sharks that are prominently displayed."

Since February 4 has been a slow day in history (Conrad Bain's birthday (Mork & Mindy) and the opening of "Our Town" being the most exciting things that have happened), we instead bring you useless animal trivia (Groundhogs day - get it?):

• Giraffes can't swim. They also can't cough.
• Hummingbirds can't walk
• A rat can last longer without water than a camel can
• A chameleon's tongue is twice the length of its body
• Penguins can jump over 6 feet
• Japan's pampered Kobe cattle regularly get to drink beer

... and don't forget to ask Jimm about Bonobos
