The Valley is no stranger to pub crawls.

But this Saturday, the Tour de Light Rail Pub Crawl puts a new angle on the progressive public cocktail parties.

This nine-bar crawl raises money for the Arizona Hemophilia Association. The crawl runs between Doc's Place on Central Avenue in Phoenix and the Library Bar and Grill in Mill Avenue in Tempe.

With the Liquor Board out in full force, PCL might not be the only bar in Scottsdale closing their doors for "remodeling". In recent days, bars such as Jackrabbit, American Junkie and Cream Stereo Lounge have been targeted. Pussycat Lounge, however,was just the first Scottsdale bar to be made an example of.

With the recent addition of new Tuesday promotions by venues like Cream Stereo Lounge, Upper Deck, The Lodge and Devil's Martini Old Town, Tuesday Nights in Scottsdale are better than ever.  These places, however, ought to pay homage to the originators of Tuesday nights. 

Pink Taco, with the help of Brian Durkee (or perhaps we should switch the nouns in that statement), started Tuesdays as we know it over 3 years ago with the infamous "Twisted Tuesday" promotion.  Acme, Dos Gringos and Salty Senorita jumped on board with promotions like "Tuesday Boozeday" and "Tijuana Tuesdays" shortly thereafter, promotions that helped turn a quiet night in Scottsdale into a reputable party night.
