We read this article on BuzzFeed about weird things people who work bizarre hours experience. Truth be told, it totally hit home for us bartenders. We don't crawl into bed until 4am sometimes.

So, we thought we'd share the article with our fellow San Antonio service industry peeps. If you're not service industry...well here's a look into our lives.

This week we're launching a new drink promotion here at The Ringer Pub. These cocktails look great, taste delicious & are served in mini pitchers. That's right, mini pitchers!

Often when referring to The Big Lebowski, you'll hear people use the term "cult film." This describes a dedicated fanbase. People who love the film and worship "The Dude".

They quote lines from the movie, drink White Russians, refuse to bowl on shabbos, and fly through life with a dude-like attitude. To be honest...they're our kinda people.

Since our opening, we've found that San Antonio has its' very own Big Lebowski fan base.  At least once a week we have a new visitor stop in that loves the film just as much as we do. 

It seriously...makes our day. Especially when they come in their Lebowski gear. Check out our slideshow below featuring a few of our favorites! 

On social media, we connect with Big Lebowski fans from all over the world! Since we're the only Big Lebowski inspired bar (to our knowledge) in the world besides one in Reykjavik, Iceland -- we tend to get fans from all over reaching out to us on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram. 

​When we first opened, we were contacted by Bill Green Studios, designer of The Lebowski Fest graphics. He offered to donate several authentic, signed festival posters that are now hanging in The Ringer Pub. 

We've also been tagged in some pretty awesome odes to The Dude on various social medias. View our favorites below.

So if you're a Big Lebowski fan and you still haven't checked out The Ringer Pub -- we wanna meet you! Throw on a robe (with preferably something under it) or your Big Lebowski t-shirt, and head to happy hour any day of the week.

We offer $2 domestics and wells from 2pm-8pm daily. And of course, White Russians are always on special for $4, along with $3 Fireball shots.

You can connect with us online through Facebook, Twitter & Instagram at @TheRingerPub, or download our mobile app SATX Bars. 

If you haven't seen our beer pong tables, let us tell you...these babies are SO COOL! They're custom made with our logo, and include some pretty cool amenities like the cup and pong ball holder pictured below. It even has built in cup holders so you don't spill your beer while you shoot.

Since our opening, we've had tons of people play. Over time, we've watched our little beer pong community grow, and enjoyed seeing all the photos people share with us of them playing. Here's a few of our favorites:

Since our beer pong is so popular, we've decided to put on a monthly Beer Pong Tournament on the 1st Wednesday of each month. The tourney will be single play entry only with prizes for 1st, 2nd & 3rd. Registration kicks off at 9:30pm & the tournament begins at 10pm. For more information, please feel free to contact us.

Calling all Lebowski fans in San Antonio!

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema will be hosting a Big Lebowski Quote-Along at two of their locations in the coming week. Since we're a Lebowski inspired bar, we thought it only right that we support this awesome local event. 

The first showing will be on Sunday, February 21st at 6:30pm at the Stone Oak theatre. The second showing will be on Wednesday, February 24th at 7:30pm at the Park North location. You can purchase tickets for either showing on their website here. 

We invite you to pre-game and/or after-party with us at The Ringer Pub, San Antonio's only Big Lebowski inspired bar! Enjoy a delicious White Russian on special for $4 all day, every day. Not your style? Check out our other daily specials here. 

We wouldn't be a Big Lebowski inspired bar if we didn't have the movie playing on a loop on at least one of our TVs every day. 

Now that it's played, oh you know like...1,563,275,899 times...we've come up with a list of our all time favorites quotes from The Big Lebowski that we feel, every fan should know.

These are listed in no particular order. We hope you enjoy! 

Throwing a big bash to celebrate your team is never an easy task, and the success of your shindig depends on a ton of factors—ambiance, food, drinks, ect.

Given all the necessities for a fun party, it’s difficult to keep track of everything while having a good time yourself. So, to help you throw the perfect party this season, we’re sharing our party planning secrets for this year’s Super Bowl! 

1. Diversify your guest list. 
We are lucky to have a diverse crowd of folks at The Ringer Pub. Across the bar, you can find both avid football fanatics and guys who are just along for the ride. To ensure that your party maintains a steady energy level, having a balanced mix of these two characters is an important consideration. Why, you may ask? Too many diehards can devolve into a screaming match, and too many wallflowers can lull everyone to sleep. The best line of action is finding a happy medium. 

2. A touch of atmosphere isn’t going to kill you.
While no one expects you to drop a pretty penny on home décor, it’s true that a poster here or there can make your party feel like an occasion to celebrate. So, with your budget in mind, invest in a few festive items. You don’t have to go all out; maybe pick up disposable cups and plastic tablecloths in your team’s colors. For a twist, if you know you will be hosting folks rooting for both teams, establish a line down the center of the room with masking tape and decorate each side in one team’s colors.

3. Be prepared for feeding time at the zoo.
After a couple of rounds, your party animals will need to be fed. Since the main object of interest is the game, it’s best to follow the age-old atavism K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple, stupid). Take a cue from us at The Ringer Pub by serving up some chili dogs and fruit pie, or do your own thing all together. Whatever you decide, make sure there’s something edible to keep hangry partygoers at bay.

4. Alcohol
Last but not least, who could forget the true spirit of a good Super Bowl party? (Hint: it’s literally spirits.) At The Ringer Pub, we keep the energy going and the alcohol flowing, an absolute must for any successful viewing party. Maybe even suggest a friendly drinking game during halftime to reignite your party’s momentum or to quell any awkward sporting disputes.

Those are our party tips! Got a better idea? Share your own Super Bowl party secrets with us in the comments section!

And, of course, if you want to save yourself a lot of stress—and, more importantly, a big chunk of cash—invite your buddies to The Ringer Pub to watch the big game! We’ve got all your party needs covered.

In the throne room of the English royal palace, Shakespeare's King Henry looks upon his anxious cohorts and declares his intention to invade his French enemies, claiming, "Therefore, my lords, omit no happy hour that may give furtherance to our expedition..."

No time for happy hour before laying waste to the French? C'mon, Henry. Not cool.

Penned by the Bard of Avon circa 1599, this scene in King Henry V is likely the first recorded instance of the phrase “happy hour,” although the vintage term presumably was used to describe a general period of scheduled entertainment.

One possible origin of today's “happy hour” involves a early tradition of the United States Navy, during which organizations by the names of the Happy Hour Club or the Happy Hour Social Club would partake in semi-weekly functions featuring a variety of different diversions.

Despite the rapid spread of these happy hour events, the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act outlawed alcohol consumption during the Prohibition era. But, something as trivial as the law wasn't about to stop the party. In the 1920s, illicit speakeasies began hosting “cocktail hours” or “happy hours” before dinnertime at restaurants where alcohol could not be served.

Even after the decline of the Prohibition movement, drinking before dinner remained an American custom, and the term “happy hour” became synonymous with afternoon drinks as early as 1951.

Shakespeare would be proud.

Like many other businesses in the bar industry, The Ringer Pub continues the tradition by hosting its own happy hour from 2pm until 8pm every day, which features $2 domestics and wells on special. So, in the spirit of the happy hour's earliest beginnings, come hither to The Ringer Pub for a pint of ye ol' ale!

Do you consider yourself a shade brighter than the other colors in the crayon box? If so, come prove it at Live Trivia every Thursday night starting at 8pm at The Ringer Pub. 

Our Live Trivia is completely free to play & hosted by Challenge Entertainment’s San Antonio Trivia. Here’s how it works...

Come alone or bring a team. Teams can be a maximum of up to ten people. You’ll grab a pencil and some answer sheets from the host, who will let you know when things get started.

The host will announce a variety of questions throughout the night, and you'll have a song's length to answer. Once the song is up, teams must submit their answers to the host. The teams with the correct answers earn points. At the end, the top three teams with the most points, wins! Give certificates in the amounts of $30, $20 & $10 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd consecutively. 

Play on a weekly basis and enter into the 2016 National Trivia League where you can win over $100,000 in cash & prize + bragging rights! 

So, it’s official. We’ve picked out a date for our Grand Opening!

Mark your calendar & get ready to drink White Russians, play mini bowling & complain about the Eagles, ‘cause come December 5th The Ringer Pub will be officially open. 

We’ll be throwing a HUGE ‘Little Lebowski Urban Achievers’ party -- for all of our inner city drinkers of promise, but without the necessary means of a watering hole. (if you don’t get this, you haven’t seen The Big Lebowski enough times). 

The festivities will run from 7pm-2am with a special appearance by “The Dude!" That’s right, you’ll be able to play mini bowling & cheers White Russians with The Dude himself. 

Check out the pics below for a sneak peak of the venue! See y’all December 5th dude!
