We already tackled Monday, so let’s get over this little Tuesday hill and then we can coast through the midweek. There are plenty of events happening around the city today, August 21, and we’ve put them together to help you have a happy Tuesday.

Dog Day Afternoon at Bar Le Ritz
During the dog days of summer, why not settle into a bar to watch a movie on a massive screen?
Bar Le Ritz is screening Sidney Lumet’s 1975 drama/thriller film starring Al Pacino (which he received an Oscar nomination for). The film follows a desperate man (Pacino) with the help of an accomplice (John Cazale), as they take hostages in a Brooklyn bank with plans to rob it in order to pay for his lover’s sex-change operation.
Le Ritz urges guests to bring their own snacks and they also supply free popcorn.
When: Tuesday, August 21
Time: Doors at 8 pm, screening at 9 pm
Where: Bar Le Ritz – 179 Rue Jean-Talon-Ouest

Old Orchard Open Mic
The classic Celtic watering hole on Prince Arthur hosts a musical open mic night on Tuesdays.
The pub features some of the best gig comedians in town on a regular basis and their open mic night generates a lot of talented musicians either trying out new songs or jamming out with new members.
If you want to get up on stage or listen to some good music while knocking back a few suds, Old Orchard is a gem.
