Summer Shuffles at TanakaSan
Sake slushies. Snacks. Shuffleboard. This T-Doug restaurant in Denny Regrade will host all three up on its mezzanine this Saturday at 7. A $20 ticket includes two boozy drinks, TanakanSan snacks throughout the evening, and entry into the shuffleboard tournament. Playing is optional, but please do pledge fealty to a shuffleboard team like they’re all competing for the iron throne. It makes things more interesting.
