Dust off your best "eh," because the Barstool Olympics kicks off today
 |
Today marks the start of the 2010 Winter Olympics, and in true Philly fashion, five local bars have joined forces for a timely competition in the name of both charity and wanton drunkenness. The "Barstool Olympics," as it's being called, will involve the five watering holes named above — New Wave Café, South Philly Bar & Grill, *smiths, Swift Half and Kite & Key — duking it out to see who can sell the most $3 Molson bottles, as that prominent Canadian brewery calls 2010 host city Vancouver home. The competition, which runs through last call on Feb. 28, will end with (yes!) a medal ceremony for the gold, silver and bronze bars. Along the way, each spot will offer Canucktastic food specials, including Canadian bacon sliders (!), poutine and maple-glazed salmon salad.
A portion of the overall proceeds from the Barstool Olympics willl benefit the Fraternal Order of Police Survivors Fund, which provides support for the families of fallen officers.
