Mug Club & Liquor Pitchers: Lucky's Sports Tavern

After a weekend of birthdays, bars and a beer Olympics with friends, it's definitely one of those hungover Sundays. As I relax on the couch watching Knocked Up on E! eating leftover Taco John's, everything from the weekend comes rushing back... the inside jokes, funny moments and one-on-one talks that truly make my friends great.

One bit of information that particularly sticks out from the weekend, is finding out about the "Mug Club" at Lucky's Sports Tavern on Court Street. The "Mug Club" is a discount offered at Lucky's that lasts all quarter.

As a club member, you'll receive:
* Special discounts on mixed drinks
* Reduced shot prices every Monday, and
* 1.50 drafts anytime

To join the club, all new members pay 25 dollars. But for renewing members, it's only 20 bucks. For this price, Lucky's staff will assign you to a specific mug on a shelf behind the bar, and put your name on it with a little key chain. How cool is that concept, to have a glass reserved for you uptown 24/7? Although renewing members had to pay by April 7th, new members can join anytime - that is, until the mugs run out. The earlier you join, the more bang you'll get for your buck... but the clock is ticking.

Another really popular promotion at Lucky's, are their 5 dollar liquor pitchers offered every Wednesday night. Served in a Budweiser pitcher of about 54 oz, you can get literally any mixed drink. But this way, instead of one drink for 3 or 4 bucks, you'll get a little over four of your favorite drinks for only 5 dollars! This is seriously one of the best deals in Athens. Below are my friends and I on St. Patrick's Day this year, celebrating with Lucky's Lemonade Liquor Pitchers dyed green for the holiday!

Although Lucky's is locally known as the "Steelers bar," all who like to drink, eat and mingle with friends are welcome. Coming from a die hard Cleveland Browns fan, as long as I've got a Lucky's Lemonade in my hand, screw the rivalry. It's a great place for food, friends and to just sit back and socialize or watch the game. Follow them on Facebook, MySpace or Twitter for more information on the "Mug Club," and other Lucky's promotions.

Cheers!
