The luck 'o the Irish was with us tonight! On this day in early April we woke up to 3 inches of snow and gray skies. By 5:30pm we were taking a scenic ride down through the flats and the sun was out, the clouds were gone and the thermometer was approaching 50. And it was Friday. Score!
The Flat Iron was full of patrons but there was one table left. Score again! And it was in the corner by the window. Two more points! We noticed a band was setting up and when we found out it was Cats on Holiday, a band I've been wanting to see, we knew the luck o' the Irish was with us tonight. What a great band! And kudos to whomever controls the volume because not once did my companion and I have to strain to hear each other.
We orderd a few draughts that came to us cold and frothy and with our view of the river, a great band, and good beer, how much better could it get? Our winning streak continued with our food because I ordered the Flat Iron Burger that comes with bacon and BBQ sauce. Sure it had a million calories but boy was that puppy good! Yum! My friend got the Fish and Chips and it came to us piping hot with the batter just-right crunchy and it didn't overwhelm the taste of the fish. He even liked the coleslaw which he usually doesn't like.
All in all, a great evening at the Flat Iron Cafe and can say without a doubt that I'll be back!
