UPDATED: Charlie's Irish Pub Less than 300 Pours Away from 10,000 Shots of Jameson

The countdown to Charlie's Irish Pub's 10,000th pour of Jameson Irish Whiskey is on.

As of Sunday night, the pub had reached 9,700 pours.

Remember, the person who guesses the time and date of the 10,000th pour will receive a night in one of the Water Street Inn’s St. Croix Suites, dinner for two at Charlie’s and a bottle of Jameson Irish Whiskey.

This week, the pub is giving a half-off discount for ugly Christmas sweater bearers.

Here’s how the contest works: Simply walk into Charlie's—located inside of the —this month and make your guess.

Charlie’s Irish Pub has been working to increase their Jameson sales over the past six years, said Chuck Dougherty, owner of the Water Street Inn. Jameson sales have increased every year – and “this has been a great year with the help of Jameson providing promotions and the Jameson Girls coming out over the summer giving free tastings.”

The pub also has more than 300 members of the Jameson Club.

“Anyone that gets a full punch card becomes a member of the club,” Dougherty said. “To fill a card you need to drink 10 of our special Jameson drinks (not all at the same time).”

Club members then get a free Jameson drink every Tuesday and half-price drinks after that, Dougherty said. In addition, the second Tuesday of every month, the pub does “something special for members,” he said.

The pub is also hosting a second contest asking patrons to guess the number of Jameson drinks sold in 2011. Last year, Charlie’s sold a total of 7,800 Jameson drinks—and the total year to date is more than 9,000 drinks.
