Maybe its the stress caused by hanging out with relatives or the fact that no one has to be at work in the morning, but Thanksgiving Eve, also known as Black Wednesday, is one of the busiest drinking nights of the year.

So where will you be celebrating this great American holiday tradition? Let’s review the options:

American Junkie is advertising a Thanksgiving Eve promotion including giveaways by “Guess by Marciano” but no drink specials to back it… hmmm. Eitherway they are going to be packed. That whole “being able to see and here the person your talking to” vibe they got going on is really catching on. Who would have thought?

ReverseHappyHour.com has the inside scoop on two new venues coming to Old Town, Scottsdale before the new year.

The first, opening later this month is going to be called American Junkie. Its located where the old Tequilla Grill used to be, just north of Drift on 75th Street. The interior was described to us as “an upscale Mickeys… with a large Schlits Beer miral and concert posters on the walls… a round bar in the middle and a smaller one off to the side.”

Let’s hope they stick with the decor and don’t fall into that confused Dirty Pretty category - you know, where there’s guitars on the wall but rap music coming from the speakers.
