| - Recently went to a happy hour with some former co-workers at D&D. I was the first to arrive and waited at the tables outside for my party to arrive. After a couple were there, we went inside to get some beverages and went upstairs for a table. The beverage selection was good, I was drinking beer, and while they didn't have anything on tap that I was interested in that night, there were several in their selection of bottles. Some more of our group arrived, and a cheese tray was ordered, and it was decided that we were going to go sit outside, b/c they were starting up the heaters. We got a table right under a heater, not too far from three dudes playing music. I probably would have rather stayed inside, if only because of the music...I'm not against music per se, but I have trouble listening/focusing on conversation when music is being played. Anywho, the funny part about this was that at one point, the band brought up some girl from the crowd who sang two songs with them. For whatever reason, the conversation stopped on the patio. Not sure if everybody knew her or what, but another guy and I just started talking...I mean, if we were talking during the band, why not talk during this girl's singing? Hopefully we weren't too loud and didn't offend her. Anywho, the cheese tray was good, but wish it had been labeled, because whoever brought out the tray did not do a good job at telling us what was what (I can't even remember if one of our group brought it out or an employee). One other minor problem was that our heater went out (ran out of gas) but no one ever came over to restart it, and it got cold...
Overall four stars. Pretty good happy hour specials and a nice setting. Bet this would be a pretty great place to go in the evenings when it's a tad warmer.
