She says the prepare for special nights by making sure they are well-staffed.

"We have a couple extra bartenders, a couple extra servers and we let the servers dress up and wear a fun jersey."

They also up their advertising and add food and drink specials.

According to server Adrienne Maldonado, it pays off. "We make a lot of money here. It's very fun when we have special events and game nights."
