Super Sunday at Camden Pub
Camden Pub at 647 W. Pratt St. has $3.15 Miller Lite bottles and drafts on Super Sunday, according to this sign out front.
The sign doesn't make it clear whether you pay $3.15 for the beer or the buffet.
So I called them to ask.
The bartender didn't know about the sign, and told me she would go outside and have a look.
I waited on hold for 10 minutes, hung up and called back.
She still hadn't checked.
Finally she figured out that the beer was $3.15 -- not the buffet.
"Why $3.15? Why not just $3," I asked.
She didn't know.
And I didn't want to press her for an answer. Might have spent another 10 minutes on the phone.

$3.15 for Miller Lite doesn't sound very special to me...Maybe if I were actually AT the Super Bowl

they forgot to change to 6% sales tax, so that Miller Lite might be $3.18 this Sunday. Friggin O'Malley!

From reading the sign, I have to think that the $3.15 is the beer, which isn't a good idea.
"Buffet available" says to me that there is a buffet, but the price isn't there.
