Wednesday, November 23 is a great time to get out and take a load off. Get out of the house the night before, spend some time with yourself or others, and soak up these drink specials happening in Tucson on the unofficial holiday “DrinksGiving.” And, of course, it’s not a holiday designed to get away from the family so invite them along as well.

The video store is hosting dinner with Fat Noodle as they put on the ’90s classic film “The Rocketeer.” They’ve got plenty of beers on tap and in the fridge to keep you warm whether you’re watching the movie inside or out on the patio’s movie projector.
