| - Okay, The Ironwood is my favourite place to see great Alberta musicians. I've seen Ben Sures perform there, Jori Kinjo and a few other memorable but not famous folks that just love to sing, play and are great to listen to.
First time out the food was not spectuacular and in my opinion over priced. That was when the Ironwood was in the Blues Can location. And then, when we went to see Jori, okay, it was an appetizer but for what we had on the plate, it was ... okay.
Then there was the charity event. We were out to support a Give a Kid a Lift charity event at the Ironwood and my husband treated us to lunch. And it was good.
I love that the Ironwood supports charities and local and all sorts of music. It is live performing of live and often original music.
Yes, in the evening you can dance. It's fun to watch the tables clear out by the stage and see people doing what they do best, making merry to some great music.
I'm looking forward to a little Sunday afternoon Blue Grass coming up in the near future, but several words to the wise.
1. There is a cover, and it can be added to your bill, but it covers the enterainment, so you don't have to spend a lot of money on drinks or food if you don't want to.
2. The appetizers range form $12.00 - $14.00 and they feed maybe 2 small appetite people or one me.
3. The beer is the best deal. There is a full bar but really, as Alison Brock says: "It's the music."
I want to go to the Bluegrass afternoon on May 19 and ... oh wow there is SO much good music there this spring! Take a peek at their website and find the offerings. The pick a day and just go!
