My honey and I decided to wander Fremont street this last Friday to see if we could find a chill place to hang out with fun live music. We walked up and down Fremont Street to see what was hoppin and nothing was really what we were looking for. There was the piano bar "Dont tell Mama" that we had been thinking about trying and a comedy show at "Beauty Bar", the chill vibe with Juke tunes at the "Griffin" but nothing that really struck our mood. We completely missed this place on our first round as bar next door had their music (journey and the like) pumpin' out into the street.
We stopped right in front of Hennessy's to debate what we were going to do and then we SAW the band inside and realized that we were standing right in front of an Irish Pub. Can't go to wrong with that, right? So we decided to go on in and check it out. We took a seat at a table by the stage and each ordered a Guinness. The band "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" were playing and bantering back and forth. SO MUCH FUN! They made the evening. Great musicianship, great vocals, fun banter and a great mix of music... everything from Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphy's to Jeff Buckley, Neil Diamond and Fleetwood Mac.
The service was decent, prices were decent, the place was clean but there were no hand towels in the restroom all night long. That was kind of a bummer. All in all I will definitely go back and on a Friday night as I hear that same band has a regular gig there. Great way to spend a low key Friday Night.
