Rams Head The Blog

Are you tired of the snow like we are? Are you starting to get cabin fever, like I am? Well, Rams Head Restaurants NEVER closes. Rams Head is open Rain, Shine, Sleet, or Snow! We have everything from Fordham Beers, Irish coffee, and yummy treats to fill you up from all of that shoveling.

Rams Head Tavern even has a wacky promotion called,” Polar Bear Club”. Rams Head Tavern Annapolis we’ll be serving our happy hour specials every time the temperature dips below 32 degrees! That’s right friends! $2.50 Drafts, House Wines and Rail Drinks in the Beer Garden every time Annapolis freezes. So combat the cold by warming your bones with cheap brews and heat lamps in the Rams Head Tavern’s Beer Garden. Keep your peepers open for our Arctic Alert light. Our management and staff will be watching the thermometer ever so closely. Every time that that mercury dips to 32 degrees or below, the Arctic Alert will be lit and happy hour prices will be honored on the patio until it warms… or until the doors close… which ever comes first.* Drinks must be bought and consumed on the patio for happy hour pricing!

Or, check out the ‘cold’ Speedo runners from this weekend at Rams Head Tavern! I give these people made kudos for wearing Speedo’s in the winter blizzard! But, they did stop by the Tavern to warm up with a Fordham Beer! Pretty good idea if you ask me. You never know what you will see from the Rams Head Tavern bar…..

But, like I said… if you’ve been stuck in the house for days because of snow, Rams Head brings some great events that will gear you away from the house. Starting this Saturday, February 13th at Rams Head Shore House will be the 1st of many Harley Davidson Bike Nights. Harley Davidson of Annapolis will bring a beautiful Harley Bike for the customers to take pictures on, prizes/ contest 15 mins before the band (Mike Waskey) plays and also during the band breaks. Event: Harley Davidson Bike Night, Saturday Feb.13th, 2010 | 7:30pm-12am

If you don’t ride bikes, but love movies! I highly recommend coming to Rams Head On Stage this Saturday, February 13th for the movie screening of the independent movie,‘ New York Lately’. Director Gary King of New York City and Cast of the movie will be flying to Annapolis for a special appearance at the NEW YORK LATELY showing. Mr. King and Cast will be taking questions from the audience after the film.

NEW YORK LATELY is a feature film drama following multiple characters as they weave through their daily lives struggling to find happiness. However, happiness to each of them is defined differently. Using New York as the backdrop, writer/director Gary King interweaves several unrelated tales into a larger tapestry that not only pulls viewers into these intimate day-to-day lives, but also draws on those interactions to show how we are not all that different from each other.

If you’re a dedicated Baltimore Ravens fan like me. You get early on game day, put on your ravens jersey, get some beer and hope for the best that the Ravens win. This year the Ravens went into the playoffs with the record of 9-7. And, the Patriots were 10-6. Patriots have always been a tough team. We lost to them earlier this year with the score of 27-21. It was such a close game. Many will remember that game, and we knew we had to go into the Patriots game with energy and power.

Ray Rice, 2^nd Season with the Baltimore Ravens started the game yesterday by running 83 yards for a touchdown with frigid fans still settling into their seats. Tom Brady the quarterback of the New England Patriots had three of his four turnovers in the first quarter. The first 5 minutes of the game, the Ravens were winning 14-0.

Baltimore’s 24 points in the first quarter tied for the second-most in NFL playoff history. The Patriots’ defense was so porous, allowing 234 yards rushing, that Joe Flacco only had to throw 10 passes, completing four for 34 yards. Rice rushed 159 yards for a team that averaged 182.6 on the ground in its previous five games.

The Patriots received the second-half kickoff trailing the score 24-7. I knew the Ravens had this game in the bag. With Brady’s so called broken ribs and broken index finger. The Ravens were ready to attack Brady before he could even make a play. They kept pressuring Brady into mistakes after mistakes, and not one penalty was called against them.

Not only was Brady injured but, the league’s leading receiver, Wes Welker wasn’t able to bail Brady and his teammates out of this mess.

“I would have been booing us, too, the way we played,” Brady responded. “That’s their right. We just didn’t play well. You have to give those guys a lot of credit; they played well in all phases, and really took it to us.”

The Ravens took victory with the winning score of 33-14. The Patriots suffered their first home playoff loss since a 1978 Divisional Playoff vs. the Oilers. The Ravens’ head coach, John Harbaugh, running a victory lap to slap hands with the large amount of Baltimore fans that made their way to New England for the game. . Harbaugh can hope for such support in Indianapolis (14-2) on Saturday. Baltimore hopes to avenge a 17-15 loss to the Colts on Nov. 22. The Ravens team is now playing with great confidence and will hopefully beat the Colts on Saturday!
