The Plunge was a Success!!!

The Annual Polar Plunge for Special Olympics was yesterday, and what a beautiful day it was. It was a Huge Success! Thank you to all those that participated, volunteered, worked, and most importantly raised money. The final totals are still being tabulated, but as of Sunday we raised over $20,000 for the Special Olympics of Wisconsin.  That is AWESOME!! 


For those of you who were not able to be there, here are some pictures for you to enjoy. 
Now you have to understand, every year all the Matty's girls figure out what theme they want to jump with, and pretty much just tell Matty what he needs to wear.  Last year they were bees, and Matty the Bee Keeper, the year before that, he was Hugh Hefner, and the girls were his "bunnies" (probably his proudest year).  This year he was a Bride, and the girls his Bridesmaids. And being the good sport that he is, only needed a couple of cocktails and he agreed. 
A beautiful wedding party they turned out to be.

We're Baaaaacckkkk

Yea Yea...I know its been a year in the making (just for the record it was not a whole year) but we're back in action.

This blog will be our informal platform to tell you all of the goings-ons (is that a word?) at the B&G. In our own words....

Where to start, there is so much to say.  First of all, let me give a shout out to all our loyal fans who voted us #1 Sports Bar in Milwaukee by WISN Alist. We couldnt be more proud, especially since it is 5 years in a row. Yeah us, and Yea you for voting for us, we couldnt have done it with out you. So Thank you. (Insert smiley face here)

It's hard to believe we are into February already, it seems like we were just discussing the
Ugly Sweater Party, and now we are fastly approaching our main event in
February which is the Polar Plunge.
Matty's has been involved with the Polar Plunge for close to a decade, and over that period of time we have raised close to $130K. And again this is another event when we call upon our friends in the community, and our own personal friends and family
to help raise money for the athletes of the Special Olympics.
The event is this Sunday, February 12th the bar will be open at 8am for those that need
a little (or a lot depending on who you talk to)"Liquid courage" 
We offer a FREE Breakfast to those that are jumping, and FREE transportation
to and fro the jump site which is Muskego County Park.
Jumping commences at 12 Noon!!

There is still time to donate to the cause or to donate to a specific jumper: Click here to donate.!!

thinking caps off. We have solved your problem. We are offering a 4 course meal for two
