This Hudy's for you!
Lots of stuff happening downtown for Reds Opening Day. For the most part, bars are just having drink specials and not doing too much in the way of creativity. For a nice list of where to get a bucket of beers and some hot cornhole action, check this list on CiN Weekly er… Metromix. If you’re up for something with a little more panache, here are a few events we found interesting:
Jake Speed’s Opening Day Extravaganza!

John Morrell Tailgate
Third & Race
10:30-First Pitch
Paul Daugherty can go get his hotdog on at this sushi-free tailgate party. Our homeboy Clayton Anderson will be rockin’ the stage and the Reds Rally Pack will be there to terrorize everyone (in a pleasant way) and probably giveaway some stuff. Don’t be tardy for the party – starts at 10:30am, holmes. Beer sales support the American Red Cross.

Catcher in the Rye Tapping & Opening Day Celebration!
Rock Bottom Brewery (Map!)
9 am – 12 am
The Rock is kicking things off at 9am with a signature breakfast menu and the tapping of their Catcher in the Rye Ale. Sounds like a party to us.

Save Second Base
Hofbrauhaus (Map!)
This event at Hofbrauhaus would make our list strictly based on the name alone, but they’ve got a great little shin-dig kickin’. Proceeds from the Opening Day festivities at the ‘haus benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Get yourself a beer and pretzel then head over the Purple People Bridge to the game and have another beer and another pretzel.
