No, that’s not a mirage you’re seeing, beer really is a penny between 7-9 ($5 cover) at The Tavern, Auburn’s newest bar located in the former Botcher’s/Lumberyard building on Opelika Road.  I’d heard rumors for a few weeks and believed it sounded too good to be true.  So, I did a little libation investigation at The Tavern last Wednesday night concluded that you can drink there cheaper than you can at home Wednesday night.  And, it turns out that’s not the only ridiculos deal they’ve got.  Look for a full-length article with all the details next week.
