The seasonal opening of Sullivan’s (2080 Day Boulevard, Castle Island, South Boston) was supposed to take place this coming weekend, but thanks to today’s unseasonably warm forecast, it’s reopening today instead with half-priced hot dogs galore (95 cents plus tax). Open 8:30 a.m. to sunset daily through the end of November; only closed on St. Patrick’s Day and Thanksgiving.

The Boston Licensing Board is discussing the possibility of taking away some bars’ ability to serve drinks in glasses and glass bottles, reports Universal Hub.

Minibar was recently the site of a fight involving a thrown glass.
