| - I absolutely adore The Womack. My boyfriend brought me here to celebrate my birthday last Friday night and we had a great time.
I'll get the bad out of the way first- the drinks were really not good. I've been drinking Amaretto Sours since I was legal (ok maybe before I was "legal", but let's not go there) and this is honestly the worst Amaretto Sour I've ever tasted. Waaaay beyond sweet to the point where it almost tasted chemical if that makes any sense. But for $11, I sucked it down. Honestly, it was really bad though. My next drink was a vodka with pineapple juice and while it was better, it was a little light on the vodka.
We got there are 8 and the place wasn't busy but by 11, everyone and their mama was there! Pretty diverse crowd racially but mostly younger people under 50. We sat on the patio since we didn't have a reservation and luckily most of the furniture was dry (we went post monsoon storm), so aside from the humidity, it wasn't a problem. The patio is nice and fairly large and there are speakers out there that allow you to hear the band performing.
Loved the Roscoe Taylor band BTW. Mostly because they sang all the old school R&B hits my boyfriend and I know and love. Were all the lyrics accurate? Uh not exactly...but after a few drinks, who cares?! ;-)
Anyway, it has a definite "juke joint" feel. I like that! All in all, it's clean, the waitresses are nice, and the bathrooms are MUCH nicer than what you'll get a few blocks away at my other old school R&B hotspot, Chars Has The Blues.
I have a feeling this is gonna be our new chill spot...good music and no cover change (when we got there). I'll just have to be forgiving about the drinks!
