This Week at The Branch...and Texas Grill!

As of this weekend, and evolving over the next few weeks and months, ‘The Branch Restaurant’ will become what it was probably always meant to be ‘The Branch Restaurant and Texas Grill.’ Come on out this week and help us celebrate 2012 with some of our real Texas Barbecue, or even some of your favourite Tex-Mex or even Cajun or Southern foods favourites...Don't worry, we are still the same old Branch in more ways than not with our pride in choosing local and organic foods first and our commitment to the environment and the community, but it's high time we admitted that this Texas thing we've been leaning towards as a menu theme is here to stay! Come by this wekk and check it out for yourself!

Wednesday January 18, Beau’s All Natural Brewing Company presents: College Night at the Branch, featuring Hot Country with The Exes, $5, free with Student i.d.: it’s the ‘College Night’ premiere with The Exes, featuring Kim (Yes, That Kim) coming out from behind the bar to show off her singing chops, if you haven’t heard her yet at one of our open stages, you’re missing out, come out the Wednesday and prepare to be wowed…

Thursday, January 19th, Petunia, 9pm $10; Spending the early part of his career playing on every major street corner, subway station and park bench in Canada (and NY city), picking, grinning and singing for his living, Petunia has been a regular on the Canadian touring circuit for many years now. He plays 150 shows/ year all over Canada and has begun touring into the USA, with his band out of Vancouver, "The Vipers".…he has a unique, surreal style all of his own…his live performances have been likened to an Avant-Country night club scene from a David Lynch movie.

Fridays, January 20 & 27; The Frank and Birdie Show, 7pm, free: Frank Western and Birdie Whyte are the dynamic duo, the tune-ular twosome, the corporeal couple, the magnificent mates…they are what happen one and one are added to become not two but two times two times two….which is a number that is significantly higher than two. Obviously. Come see them.
