BRING IT ON!

PACQUIAO vs HATTON

Live in Las Vegas

Saturday, May 2nd, 830pm @ the Beer Bar

Watch the fight on our HDTVs while enjoying $3 Palm Draughts. Plus Late-Night Happy Hour gets you half-priced mussels and draught pours! (It is also rumored that a crazy duuude buys shots for everyone if his contender wins!)

Labeled the pound-for-pound king in the realm of boxing, Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines is going up against England's Ricky Hatton, champion holder of the junior welterweight title. It will be a battle amongst the best as Ricky Hatton has never lost a bout at 140 pounds and Manny Pacquiao is attempting a sixth weight-division-win to tie the record of Oscar de la Hoya. ESPN.com lists their differences as such:

PACQUIAO

Age: 30

W-L-D: 48-3-2

KO: 37

Height: 5' 6 1/2"

Reach: 67"

HATTON

Age: 30

W-L-D: 45-1-0

KO: 32

Height: 5' 7 1/2"

Reach: 65"

Watch the beads of sweat fly off their brows as the gloves start pounding on our Hi-Definition TVs with your friends! And if you don't like boxing, come in anyway for our food and beverage specials and free WiiFit and Foosball! We hope to see you there!

Benefit Memorial Dinner

2009-04-14T16:48:00.003-04:00

This is the mass email we sent out to our patrons, friends, and business associates:

Dear ZoT customers;

Today around 4 AM, Fern Morgan, sister to longtime Zot employee Richard "Pops" Morgan, passed away. Pops, age 67, has been a member of the ZoT family since the restaurant's opening, and has been devastated by the loss of his beloved sister. Aware of the astronomical cost of funerals, we, the management and staff of ZoT, have decided to throw a benefit dinner in Pops' and Fern's honor.

Chef Bernard has created a specialty three-course dinner for Wednesday, April 15th, for the price of $30 per person, which will be available during dining room hours from 5PM until 10PM. 100% of the profits from the dinner will go towards assisting Pops with funeral costs, which can range anywhere between $1,600 to $6,000. Not only will you be able to sample ZoT's delicious Belgian delicacies at an affordable price, but you'll be helping out a member of our family in need.

Feel free to come in and get a Belgian draft or glass of wine in Fern's honor. Donations are welcomed.

Please help us support this loyal big-hearted member of our family. Any amount you can give will help in a huge way. We appreciate your compassion and generosity.

Please visit: opentable.com to make reservations.

The POS machine wasn't working so perfectly again.

Got a visit from Rob. What a nice surprise. Drunk and belligerent as usual.

Best of luck to you anyway, Rob (in your 8M$ operation). And you're always welcome to chat but next time let's make it sober. And the answer to your question: the guys got drunk and 86'd themselves, for fear of dealing with you.
