| - Last minute decision for where to go for drinks and a bite with friends...Slumdog?? Sure, the name fit the mood. Haha!
This is your typical sports bar/restaurant, large TV screens playing all the local sports team games.... In one long glance I saw basketball, hockey, and soccer....OH MY!
The crowd this Friday night was heavy on testosterone as I walked in with my guy friends and heard cheering from the bellows of a manly octave.
It was the restaurants anniversary so the place and staff were dressed up pretty fancy.. Not sure what the norm is here as this was my first time...
I like that the seating had options of couches around a table, booths and free standing tables and chairs in the middle of the room.
Fridays are Mojito night so I indulged myself to three of those yummy puppies!
Trying to be a little more health conscious, i picked a spinach, strawberry, goat cheese salad. It was a little heavy on the dressing but my fault for not asking for it on the side. My friend had the hot wings, doused in Frank's red hot! Yum! I had two to taste! If I wasn't feeling so glutton-guilty I would have ordered the Jamaican Jerk wings!
The strange thing we all noticed at 10pm, the lights went way down and the lazer lights came out, the music got louder and it turned my rating from a 4/5 to a 3/5. It felt like they were going for more of a club atmosphere then. I had to raise the volume of my voice to talk to my friends and almost take out a flashlight to finish my food. LOL. A nice touch would have been to take out some little candles for the tables. All of us looked a little confused, I'm guessing this is something they did just because it was a special night for them. But if I'm coming here again after 10pm i'll call ahead to see if i'm coming to a club or a restaurant atmosphere.
Overall I'm a fan, I just preferred to be able to see and hear this time around :D
