SOUTH SOUND DINING NEWS AND NIBBLES >>>

Now Open: Kimberly's Café has opened for breakfast and lunch in the former Lakewood spot Vive Bene - and all the way back to Mime's Kitchen - once occupied at 11126 Gravelly Lake Dr. SW. Open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., the restaurant serves traditional breakfast dishes, flat bread pizza, Connecticut grinders, paninis, sandwiches and a few entrees such as spaghetti, cod fish and chips and angel hair pasta. Everything is priced at $10 or less.

Brewer's Night: The Crown Bar hosts Georgetown Brewing Company tonight for beer, prizes and giveaways. The party begins at 6:30 p.m.

Beer Vault: The Wine Bank in University Place is now called the Wine Bank & Beer Vault because the wine store has added craft beer to its inventory.

Thanking Soldiers: The Harmon Brewery group in Tacoma will feed 60 soldiers from the 1st Special Forces Group, along with their spouses. Not only will dinner and beer be provided, but also each soldier will be receiving a dozen roses to give to their loved one. Finishing the night in style, each couple will be guests aboard a sunset cruise from Commencement Bay to Gig Harbor. For those interested in donating, visit the Harmon's Tacoma locations: The Harmon Hub, the Harmon Brewery & Eatery and The Tap Room. Those who donate will be given a voucher for the restaurant, such as a free appetizer. If you donate at The Hub, a staff member will ring a bell followed by cheers from the entire staff.
