OREGON DISTRICT — Many families will gather around the Thanksgiving table Thursday, but Wednesday night is a totally different celebration.
Some call the night before Thanksgiving “Black Out Wednesday”, others “Drinks-Giving” but regardless of what you call it, it’s one of the biggest bar nights of the year.
Bars in the Oregon District, like The Dublin Pub, are prepping for a busy night.

He said he is expecting to serve up to 500 people by the time the night is over.
