Grand Opening of Union Bear!

You won't want to miss out on the Grand Opening of Union Bear, our new neighborhood brewery! If you haven't been by yet, now is your chance to get your own taste of this new concept by The Spillers Group (think: Eno's and Oddfellows). For all of you beer nuts out there (no pun intended), you'll want to get there early enough to sample the specialty brew from Real Ale. This is one of the few kegs in the nation - so it won't last long! Make sure to snap some pics of the grub while you're there and you just might win a prize in the Food Photo Challenge!

Side note: Did you know that if you ride your bike to Union Bear anytime you get 10% off?! 
They even have a handy bike rack downstairs underneath the staircase. 
Just don't drink and ride.

Union Bear Opens

Photo courtesy of The Rundown















We thought this day would never come. 

We couldn't be more giddy to introduce Union Bear, a Spillers Group concept. The old Social House space next to Taco Diner was completely transformed into a nanobrewery. In case you're wondering what the heck that is, it essentially means a neighborhood brewery. Matt Spillers explains that they make "enough beer just to supply our neighborhood here in Uptown." Hmm. Sounds exclusive - we likey.

But don't just come for the beer. The the menu, created by John Kleifgen, is below. Until further notice, they are only open for dinner.

What's on my 'to-order' list? 
Chrispy Queso... the Mascarpone + Ricotta Pizza... and the Rosemary & Thyme Popcorn Chicken. 
Nom nom.

Opening of Benjamin Terry: Not Really There

I love seeing exceptional art. I love it even more when the artist is a local.

You won't want to miss the work of Benjamin Terry, a product of The University of North Texas. The opening goes from 7-10 pm on Saturday, January 28 at Ro2 Art Gallery Uptown.

Don't take my word for it, though.

A word from the artist:

"My current work combines representational images and the chaos of ephemeral composition. I play with various thoughts and emotions that pass through my mind at any given moment. Working with memory, fantasy, dreams and time, I use multiple selves to create a narrative sequence that reflect on ideas of internal conflict, self doubt and emotional trauma. 

'Not Really There' - 48"x52" Graphite and Enamel on Wood Panel

My painted figures escape the confines of naturalism. Like a memory or dream, parts of the narrative become blurred or fragmented--and the original thought is always transformed. Their evolutions, whether through multiplicity, incompleteness or obliteration, imply that my subjects are odd fragments of a half-forgotten memory."
