1. It’s not unusual to go on a bender after quitting time on Friday, but with the 4th falling mid-week, why not try McFadden’s Star Spangled Weekday Bender. Tuesday features fiesta-inspired specials such as $1 tacos, $2 Corona and Corona Lights, and $4 margaritas; recover Wednesday with the hair of the dog at the build-your-own bloody mary bar, or try 25 cent wings, $1 cans, $2 well drinks and $3 shots.

2. When your friends fail to organize a BBQ, never fear: Victory Liquors saves the day with its American Buffet $20 meal package Tuesday. Fill up on burgers and hot dogs from 5-9 p.m.and wash it down with domestic drafts and select cocktails. Then on the 4th of July, specials include half-price burgers, $1 bottles and $3 select cocktails.

3. There’s no work on Wednesday—and hell, maybe you even took the rest of the week off—so go for a big night out and get Derailed. The monthly Old Town pub crawl kicks off at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Try and stay on the party train all night, or pop in at one of the participating bars. Crawl starts at Wells on Wells (8 p.m.), then moves to Fireplace Inn (10:10 p.m.), Suite Lounge (11:20 p.m.), Corcoran’s (12:30 a.m.) and finishes at late-night bar Burton Place (2 a.m.) Drink specials along the way include $5 Effen cocktails, $3 Miller Lites, $5 bombs with XL energy drink.
