Winter Olympics Open Today

The 2010 Winter Olympics kick off today from Vancouver, British Columbia and several local bars are ready.

Five area bars are competing in the “Bar Stool Olympics.” From February 12th to the 28th, Kite & Key, New Wave Cafe, Smiths, South Philly Bar & Grille and Swift Half Pub will be competing to sell the most $3 Molson bottles.  The competition also is a fundraiser benefitting the Fraternal Order of Police Survivors Fund. Each location will also offer Canadian food specialties like poutine and Canadian Bacon. [Grub Street]
