Cheapest way to do tonight: start at Heat before 5 for half-price cheese bread and a $3 bottle, walk down 6th Street to FIVE for half-price drinks until 6, then get the Ponch at Jack Brown’s for dinner. Innisfree’s happy hour runs Monday through Thursday only, and Black Warrior Brewing lists no Friday deal.

Game weekend: Alabama football is off Saturday, Oct. 31, and plays at LSU on Nov. 7 at 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC (LSU preview). For Saturday’s SEC games, see the Oct. 31 SEC watch guide and our sports bars guide. Basketball starts Monday: Alabama basketball openers preview. More spots: Tuscaloosa bars guide.

Get home safe. It’s the Friday before Halloween, so expect a busy downtown and longer rideshare waits. You must be 21 or older to drink. UA’s 348-RIDE is 205-348-7433, and Uber and Lyft cover campus and downtown. Never drive after drinking.
