BULL & BOWL GRAND OPENING PARTY They’re insisting this place on West Sixth is “the first duckpin bowling alley, bar, bistro, arcade, and mechanical bull venue ever established;” and, you know? Initial, cocktail-fueled research seems to corroborate that assertion. And you might want to corroborate yourself a win at the opening party this weekend, citizen – a win in the Mechanical Bull-Riding Tournament, a you-versus-the-bull battle that’s replete with potential prizes and glory. Bonus: Fierce set of chunes from DJ Eric Generic.

KEEPERS COASTAL KITCHEN: GRAND OPENING This new restaurant – from those acclaimed Hajimaleki Brothers, Amir and Ali, of Oasthouse fame – with chef partner René Melendes – will offer sustainably caught seafood from across the country, with flavors from around the world. It’s a family-friendly, casual eatery, this place, starting out with just dinner service – later expanding to lunch and take-out. (Why “Keepers,” you wonder? It’s named after Amir’s favorite pier in Port Aransas, is why; but we’d reckon also because, yeah, it’s def a keeper.)
