| - 2-4-1 -- that's all you need to know! 2-4-1's every day, 4-8pm, and they don't mess around. I have gone here three times in the past week to get my drink on. Does that make me an alkie? Maybe.
But anyway, you may remember that this is the former location of the Locker Room. These guys have done a fantastic job of classing up the decor. It's nice. Not cold and pretentious nice, but comfy and clean nice.
The old wooden bar has been replaced with a dark grey granite slab. The dart boards are gone. Now in that area, there are now some low, angular couches for conversation and looking pretty.
You'll also notice LOADS of flat panel TVs. Well, duh. It's a video bar! Sure, you've got the usual bizarre euro techno videos playing. Thankfully there are clips of TV shows and movies interspersed.
For instance, on comedy night, you're likely to see some bits from Will & Grace, SNL, and MadTV. Musicals night will have parts of The Sound of Music and Grease.
They've also added drag bingo on Mondays. It starts when 2-4-1's end, but they are replaced new drink specials. Plus, if you wear a big hat, you get dollar shots. Sometimes they offer them to you anyway, hat or not!
Of course, the bingo is fun too. $5 gets you 4 cards which you can re-use each round. Some prizes are a little lame, but others are pretty cool! The night I was there, the grand prize was tickets to see Eartha Kitt. I could pass on that. But I heard another time it was a trip to Rocky Point for Pride.
The more I go, the more I like Ice Pics. I guess because it's good for a person like me, who doesn't like to dance or schmooze. I like to drink and laugh. Ice Pics delivers on both counts.
