Amy's Ice Creams on The View; Star Bar's New Specials Menu

ICE CREAM WIRE — As part of a segment on National Ice Cream Month, ABC's "The View" will be featuring "unique" flavors from Amy's Ice Creams at 10 a.m. on July 15. Which ones made the cut? Shiner, Canadian bacon and smoked jalepeño. [The Statesman]

SOUTH LAMAR — The Black Sheep Lodge will be opening at an earlier-than-usual 10:30 a.m. July 13 in honor of the USA vs. France Women's World Cup match. Also! $1 "White Trash" canned beer specials all day, so expect to see plenty of Lone Star, PBR, Miller High Life and Natty Ice for very little money. [Black Sheep Lodge / Facebook]

DOWNTOWN — Star Bar is introducing a new weekly specials menu featuring themed days with equally themed names and more free food than you can handle: Monday Crock-Pot Creations (free soups and queso bar plus all-night happy hour), Texas Tuesdays (complimentary Frito pie and specials on locally made alcohol), Wine and Cheese Wednesdays (free cheese plate with purchase of a half or full bottle of wine), Star Barrio Thursdays (happy hour and drink specials) and Doublewide Sundays (complimentary chicken and waffles, Pop-Tarts and "a variety of cereals").
