Farewell, Little Prague

Riggity Jig has been fortunate to have Little Prague as our home venue for the last 14 years. Who woulda thought partnering Celtic music with Czech food would have been so much fun. We are truly blessed that Vaclav and Eva opened their restaurant, bar, and hearts to us; their kindness and generosity will not be forgotten.

Sadly, Vaclav and Eva have decided to close Little Prague. They have asked us to come in and play one more gig, for the road. Please join us for one last Czech-style céilidh. Come in and taste Eva's great cooking and fine desserts while you still can. There will also be plenty of specials on beer, wine, and cocktails. Sláinte.

Friday, July 11, 6-9 PM. 330 G Street Davis.

Vaclav sets the beat.

 And it really wouldn't be St. Patrick's Day without a Guinness, would it?

Guinness!

Pretty Darn Close to Halfway to St. Patrick's Day

If my math is correct, we are getting close to halfway to St. Patrick's Day, which means it is time to bless the patio of Little Prague (weather permitting) with our annual fall frolics. Join the band for some frothy mugs of Guinness and fun tunes on Saturday, September 10th, from 6:00-9:00 p.m.

Reservations encouraged!
