 | 	- I've been to Giligan's many times - and admittedly, some times are better than others. That said, they were my favorite place in the world Saturday night (before the Super Bowl).
While every bar in Old Town had a 30 person line and was charging at least a $50 cover (for guys, $20 for girls), Giligans was throwing down with a no-cover block party, and a crowd that was, well... WAY less douchey than what we saw a few blocks away.
Don't get me wrong, when I'm in the mood to rage, Old Town is great on a regular weekend... it was just a complete hell-hole the weekend of the big game. (I know, I should have expected that that would be the case!) Since I'd left my 8 inch heels and miniskirt at home, we bailed on that ridiculous socialite scene to go to this awesome dive!
There was live music, a great crowd, lots of dancing, and (amazingly) DECENT SERVICE!!! We could actually GET a beer! (Something that would've been impossible a up the street, since I'm not handing out hundies to the lingerie'd moon balloons behind the bar.)
Our group had an awesome time hanging out inside, enjoying a few beers, and dancing our way through the crowd! It might be dead some weekends, but when you can get a good crowd in this place (particularly for their block parties), it's a blast. I will always have a short, special place in my heart for them after this weekend - they made a frustrating night into a great one! Rock on, Giligan's!
