Ray’s Rio Bravo Throwback Thursdays Pour on Retro Pricing

A five spot buys a 12-ounce house margarita, $7 brings on a 12-ounce Texas margarita and a Jackson? The $10 bill will procure a 64-ounce pitcher of Dos Equis during Throwback Thursdays at Ray’s Rio Bravo. Such a deal! Prices for these bad boys are regularly $7, $9 and $18 respectively. Settle in for a “Rio Fresh, Rio Fun” afternoon or evening with your amigos and a menu rounding up engaging compadres such as crisp tortilla chips and fresh guac hinting of Rio Bravo’s secret spice blend, queso fundido blending Cotija and Chihuahua cheeses and locally made chorizo, beef-brisket laden and beanless Texas chili plus tamales, street tacos (try veggie or fried red snapper), fajitas, nachos, quesadillas and enchiladas for every taste. Open Thursdays from 11 a.m.-11 p.m. 

Cowabunga! Retro in the Metro Rocks 80s, 90s, 2ks at 10th & Piedmont May 9

Back in the day, progressive radio stations aired REM and the Romantics (classic rock today) and categorized Duran Duran as “New Wave.” The Macarena led 90s line dances right into the hands of the Red Hot Chili Peppers in the 2ks (2000s). Vivid memories or Valley Girl and Guy wannabes, Retro in the Metro at 10th & Piedmont plays your songs -- and videos -- on Saturday, May 9. DJ/VJ Nando orchestrates interactive music video mixes hitting everything from salsa to Depeche Mode beginning at 9 p.m. Craft cocktails are the refreshment of choice at this righteous rendezvous with decades past. Free admission.
