| - 10:54 PM - "gentlemen, there's a $5 cover charge."
"I thought it was free after 11 PM?"
"oh, yeah, but there's six minutes left. if you want to not pay the cover charge, you could just wait outside for a few minutes then come back in."
"sure thing, sugar."
fucking A, Canadians really are a polite people! sweet! and she didn't care that I called her "sugar"...ah, I do love the fact that I work in an office from the 1950s.
anywho, this place is awesome. damned if I can actually name any jazz musicians or songs, but I do enjoy listening to it. plus, 2 of my friends were in our college's jazz band and aren't really the raging type, so they were interested in this place when I mentioned that I found it on Yelp.
it's a small, intimate pub with candlelit tables and very comfortable seating. we just wanted to unwind and have a few more drinks...
...hmm, fairly strong mixed drinks are in the 7-12 bucks range, not bad...
...waitress, another gin and tonic please...
...yeah, fuck it, I'll try a raspberry Lynchburg lemonade, why not...
...and so we end up closing out the place and shaking hands with every performer who played that night. again, damned if I can recall their names but we had a great time. crowd was about split between a college-age crowd and some older people. as it turned out, most of these were performers or at least ended up playing some songs.
not too busy on a Tuesday, so we got our drinks quickly, and also got to, you know, actually hear the musicians playing.
they also have food, but we didn't order any. they also have various teas on hand, so if you REALLY want to relax.
excellent place for a date or just a relaxing night out.
