This Friday and Saturday, March 26-27, Vintage Bar & Lounge celebrates its Grand Opening with live music, giveaways and half price food and drink specials.

Vintage cocktails such as the original daiquiri, traditional Manhattan and mint julep will be offered at half price, as will "Vintage Bites" on the food menu. Draft beers will be $3.50.

On Tuesdays and Wednesdays from now until Halloween, kids (10 and under) in costume eat free at Skylines Cafe.

Also, these weekly bargains continue to be offered at Skylines: 

* Wednesdays: half price bottles of wine

* Thursdays $5 martinis, with live music from 7:30-9:30pm

Every Wednesday is half price wine night at Lucky 32 in Cary. That applies to nearly the entire selection of 132 wines by the bottle and 75 by the glass. The only exceptions are wine flights, sparkling wines and reserve wines.

Now that's a good reason to celebrate hump day if I've ever heard one.
