After an awesome evening at "The Blooze" two things have become self evident. One: I need to get my tattoo. Two: The Blooze has officially dethroned "The Bikini" as my favorite dive bar.
We went to "The Blooze" last night to check out a couple of surf-rock bands, The Surfside IV and Secrete Samurai, from San Diego. Now normally, The Blooze is a NASCAR haven. NASCAR memorabilia adorns every surface but the floor in the place. I was a little apprehensive of checking out this place, but there was no need to worry. This place is great. Plenty of seating throughout the bar, a dance floor, and they even had Guinness on tap which is always good. While the bands were playing classic movies featuring Tony Randall and Jane Mansfield were playing on the many TV screens throughout the bar. There are two pool tables that were occupied most of the evening. Outside they had VIP parking for hotrods so it was like a mini car show and great music. The best part about the night was the Surfside go-go dancers and their little "Devilette" horns. Very cute!
All in all, I give "The Blooze" four out of 5 stars and look forward to the next Surf Rock band night.
