Today: Free tacos at Casselman's

Free happy-hour feeds have long seemed the stuff of distant memory. But suddenly, what's old is new again at Casselman's Bar and Venue, which just introduced Tacos Tuesday -- complete with a free ground-beef taco bar "from 6 p.m. till they're gone."...

Free happy-hour feeds have long seemed the stuff of distant memory. But suddenly, what's old is new again at Casselman's Bar and Venue, which just introduced Tacos Tuesday -- complete with a free ground-beef taco bar "from 6 p.m. till they're gone."

But even when those tacos are gone -- and they should go fast, because these are quality components, judging from our previous forays at the food bar -- Casselman's has more deals. On Taco Tuesday, you can also buy three more upscale tacos -- asada, tinga or chicken -- for just five bucks.

And there are drink specials, too: $5.50 for an El Jimador Tequila shot and can of Tecate; $5.25 for a 901 Tequila margarita; and just $2 for a PBR.

As for DJ Charlie Spinning? That's free.

Thank God it's Tuesday.
