Drink Free all night! If your name is on the calendar
We have not found a cooler idea yet than name night at a bar called "No Idea" Each night, they post a new name; if it's yours... you drink free from 5:00 to 11:00. Names are chosen at random. See the upcoming Name Night Calendar to see if your name is coming up! The only rules are that you must arrive with friends and you must tip the bartender. "No Idea" is actually a really good drinking bar. Be sure not to miss Puddles the one-legged bartender as an added bonus!
