Free Pancakes, Zinnie's East Closing, Dublin House

To honor National Pancake Day, IHOP is giving away free pancakes until 10pm or while supplies last. Get there early, before supplies run out.

Midtown now has one less restaurant/bar. Zinnie's East has closed its doors. It's sad to see it go, but using the smoking laws that have been in effect for a three years or so as an excuse is pretty weak. Better food and drinks will always save the day. By the way, Zinnie's East was very underrated for Sunday brunch. Hopefully someone else will take the spot and turn it into a thriving business. No word yet on the future of the original Zinnie's.

Finally had a chance to get to the Dublin House. The bar has a great atmosphere and I'm very impressed with was they did with the old Melo's space. Regulars of the now closed Downtown Dan McGuinness will be happy to know that Mal is back in Memphis and is serving your favorite drinks at the Dublin House.
