Have you been to KISS, Old Town’s newest Chicago-style pizza joint?
Tomorrow evening, Old Town’s Mabel’s on Main hosts Whiskey and Whiskers at 8 p.m. to benefit international charity, Movember.

A portion of proceeds from whiskey purchases will be donated as well. If a person doesn’t have a mustache or want to order whiskey, but still wants to contribute, they can donate $5 and receive 20 percent off their entire bill.
