| - They'll have you at hot bartenders in corsets. Tv's with sports all around is what you'll probably like, but to be honest I didn't go there for that. What I stayed for was the excellent food. And the company.
You know HIMYM is a genius show. It's about bar hangout nights, mistakes made by us and our circle of friends, people and their legendary accomplishment in local folklore, and all those girls (guys for some of you) we met before the "one." Those Vegas lone wolf days for me went to 2007-ish. BJ's was a hidden gem I found and protected for a long time.
I think of women on a hot/ cool scale myself. I met women of either, so my favorites were at the center of my social bell curve. The bartender/ servers here were always friendly. It was a big shock. I had been to all the Hooters and never received the service I had heard so much about and even saw at neighboring tables.
But at BJ's the women talked, hung out and even knew me after a time. I admit, I went during slower times and understood I wasn't the only one there when it was busy. The first one to make me feel welcome was Starr.
Starr is... huge, and I mean that in the coolest, amazonian way. Definite American Gladiator worthy. I met most of the others, also and was happy when they not only asked me about work, but about specific problems left in the air from before. One of the servers, who I'll call Leigh here, was impressed that I didn't try to bed the girls like the other guys.
I gotta say, I like the steak special. I've had most things off the menu. A few times I went early in the night, I'd get a quick lobster dip and pita bread. There's nothing like that in my neighborhood so I dream about great bar food.
As we got to know each other, it eventually led to a date with the second bartender I had been out with in Vegas. In my mind, this was an unattainable thing like dating a cheerleader in high school, which I never did. Did that give me confidence in that area? Who knows. I never expect when someone at either far end of the bell hints to go out. But I sure as hell ask when signs are go.
We had been out many times, I had followed her to several bartending jobs after she left. It was sad to see her understandably move away with the recession. But, she visited me when she vacationed, which to me was a very big deal in a city of people flaking with all the things that "come up" (read= texted a better party).
I did take visiting friends here once. It blew their GFD minds. I have heard many radiant reports on their subsequent visits on vacations when I was unable to meet them there.
BJ's was a cozy place, I haven't even been to the West location. I always thought of that place as a good living room, since it was more comfortable and spacious than most of my shared/ roomie situations. I would up here to think about a lot of my biggest decisions in retrospect.
