Many of us are enjoying an extra day off work today, and that goes for some of our favorite watering holes. So far, Great Waters is the only one I know is closed but if you know of others, do your fellow drinkers a favor and post it in the comments. On the flip side, since it is Monday, your local liquor store is probably open so stop in there if you need to replenish your supplies.

$4 RIS @Blue Nile
You read that right, $4 pints of Dark Horse’s Russian Imperial Stout, Plead the Fifth. Normally $7 for 12 oz, this one is priced to move. But when it’s gone, it’s gone.
Don’t forget that the Blue Nile has a great patio to enjoy the beautiful afternoon on.
Wake & Shake @The Herkimer
With the long holiday weekend looming for many of us, it’s time to kick back and enjoy what is shaping up to be a beautiful weekend in Minnesota. In case that kicking back means too little water and a little too much of the hop juice, you may be in need of a curative breakfast. But if your head’s too foggy to figure out what to eat The Herkimer has you covered with their “wake and shake” brunch.
Diners who are presumably too hungover to make their own decisions can spend $8 and roll a few dice to determine their meal. There are different dice for bread, meat, egg, potato, and beverage options.
