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.

“Love Bird Story #1″

We didn’t meet at Rams Head, but our love for music took us to Rams Head’s shows on many occasions. That’s why, on a frigid Monday afternoon in 1997, we had our “wedding reception” at Rams Head Tavern. We’d gotten married in the atrium of the Annapolis courthouse, and our whole group strolled over to Rams Head for our reception. We had fried calamari, plenty of seafood entrees, our champagne toast (my husband prefers beer, as you’ll see), and even a cake for two. A grander wedding was not in our budget, but our reception was perfect none the less.

Twelve years and five babies later, we still love to catch a show at the Rams Head (when we can get a babysitter, of course). Rams Head is classy, cool, and intimate-perfect for young AND old lovers! By: Amy L.

“Love Bird Story #2″

My name is Jordan L. and I met my ‘lovebird’ Will M., at Rams Head Live on August 3, 2009.  I went to the show to see Silversun Pickups, and ended up running into a few friends, who introduced me to Will.  We started chatting, and he told me he worked in the Entertainment industry.  As I am getting ready to graduate college, I took it as a perfect opportunity to set up an interview to potentially become his intern.  When that date finally came, we set out to have an informal interview at a local restaurant.  When talking about our passion for music, the industry, and so on, the interview turned into a date.  From that point on Will and I have been inseparable.  We have been dating for five months now, and hope to share the rest of our lives together.  Will has kept his dedication to our interests and me by taking me to shows at Rams Head Live, to ‘woo’ me even more than the first time we met.  We should be the 2010 Rams Head Love Bird Couple because I believe we are the epitome of what the venue portrays.  We are fun, social, love live music, and aren’t afraid to try something new. Even-though I didn’t get to be his intern, I got something even better, to be his love bird, hopefully forever! By: Jordan L.

“Love Bird Story #3″

My name is Ed S. and my love story occurs on the night of February 7, 2009 at the Taylor Hicks show which was the first official date with my girlfriend, Lindsay T..   We had dinner before the show in the Tavern and as luck would have it the hostess seated us at the table directly in front of the fireplace which was incredibly romantic.  Also, I had flowers sent to Rams Head for Lindz and during the beginning of dinner the hostess brought the flowers to our table.  Lindz put the flowers not on the table but on the hearth which allowed me to gaze upon her lovely face all night.  During the show Taylor Hicks sang the song “What’s Right is Right” and the lyrics of that song mirror our relationship and now that is “our song”.  We fell in love that very night at Rams Head. By:Ed S.

If you’re looking for a place to take your Honey Bunny for Valentine’s Day or Looking for a place to say,” Screw Valentine’s Day!”. Than, Rams Head is the place for you. Each of the Rams Head Restaurants will have a special Valentine’s Day menu that is made by love. And, the Rams Head Shore House or Roadhouse will be having an Anti- Valentine’s Day Party in the bar area.

Love is in the air!  Valentine’s Day one of my favorite days of the year.  I’m a sucker for all that mushy stuff…chick flicks, flowers, pink & red tacky candy boxes.  I love love.  But – I know I can be in the minority on this one.  So, even if you can’t stand the Pepto Pink decorations & the sappy love songs don’t tug at your heart strings…we’ve still got a great reason for you to celebrate this Hallmark holiday.

Billy Price & his rockin’ blues band will be spreading the love (I told you, I’m a dork for this stuff) on Valentine’s Day.  Our award winning chefs are cooking up a yummy gourmet cuisine, we’ve rented a special dance floor, and we’re breakin’ out the bubbly…all in the name of love.    Oh, and to keep it sweet, we’re throwing in a long-stemmed, belgian-chocolate dipped strawberry.  Mmmmm…strawberries & champagne.

So, grab your sweetheart (or  your best friend, we don’t discriminate!) and slip into your dancing duds for this special night on the town.
