Happy Valentine's Day!! Enjoy some PAMA!!!!

 

PAMA® captures the complex, sweet yet tart taste and seductive ruby color of all-natural pomegranates.


PAMA is made with all-natural pomegranate juice, premium vodka and a touch of imported tequila. Bottled at 34 proof, PAMA is highly mixable in a range of cocktails such as PAMA and Champagne, PAMA Cosmo and the PAMA Mojito. PAMA’s versatility gives you endless PAMAbilites.™

No fruit compares to the pomegranate. The deep crimson color; the dense pulpy flesh; the rich red juice; even the time of year when it ripens – all of these singular characteristics, along with the tales of mystery and romance woven around it, make the pomegranate rare and unequalled.

The pomegranate has come a long way since the beginning of time, revered throughout history as a symbol of health, fertility, and rebirth. It is believed that the pomegranate may have been the “apple” in the Garden of Eden. Ancient Greeks believed it was a symbol of love and war. Another Greek myth tells how Hades, god of the underworld seduced Persephone with a pomegranate.

The fall harvest offers a freshness and juiciness within the tempting fruit that cannot be experienced any other time of year. The pomegranates chosen for PAMA are selected at their peak for ripeness and flavor.

Try a: PAMA-tini today!!

Ingredients:

2         oz. PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur
3         1 oz. Premium Vodka
4         1/4 oz. Orange Flavored Liqueur
Instructions: Combine all ingredients into a mixing glass. Add ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a lemon zest.

Check out this months "Bartender of the Month" at The Tin Roof!

It all started in Atlanta back in 1996.  We were originally located in Buckhead where the locals kept the place packed and the musicians kept the place rocking.  With great live music being such a driving force for our success, it made perfect sense to move the concept to Music City, USA.  In February of 2002, we opened the Tin Roof on
Demonbreun Street
at the base of Nashville’s famed music row.  The Roof (as it’s known to our Regulars) has been a hit ever since.  Our customers love our laid-back feel and live entertainment—not to mention our made from scratch food served up by a friendly and eclectic staff. Since then, we’ve opened additional locations in Cool Springs TN, Lexington KY, Knoxville TN, and Columbia SC.  We have our eyes on a few other great new locations as well.  No matter which Tin Roof you visit, you’re sure to become a Regular.
So come on in and hang out where there’s no bitchin’ or whinin’ — just a laid-back atmosphere where you can kick back and have a good time. Bring us your stuff—we’ll hang it up! And remember… Relax! You’re at the Roof! Where everybody is somebody!
While you are there enjoy a chilled shot of Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey, a cocktail with Tito's Handmade Vodka or some delious Appleton Rum!

Join us @ Thirsty Fellow for some Tito's Handmade Vodka


Wikipedia: "fellow" is most often used in an academic context; a fellow is often part of an elite group of learned people who work together as peers (regardless of gender) in the pursuit of knowledge or practice
A "Thirsty Fellow"? You get the idea.
Thirsty Fellow Pizzeria and Pub is the brainchild of Willie Durkin, known for his previous establishments: Shannon's, Sneakers and Durkin's. Willie went in search of the perfect pie and found it in Charlotte. Peter Reinhart, author of American Pie, faculty member of Johnson and Wales, and owner of Pie Town, makes the pizza he was looking for. Willie successfully completed a pizza course at Johnson and Wales, and brought the perfect pizza to Columbia.
Owners Willie Durkin, Chuck Belcher, and Terry Davis want you to join the Thirsty Fellow family. Located in the USC Innovista area, we have a comfortable atmosphere, a great menu, a full bar and plenty of televisions. Open for lunch, dinner, late night and Sunday brunch, put Thirsty Fellow on your "to do" list.

!!Please come out and enjoy TITO'S HANDMADE VODKA - $4.00 ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!!
