| - Do you like:
- awesome live music?
- cool, rock n' roll from the 60's to the 2000's?
- friendly people who make insta-friends with you when you smile at them?
- over-sized board games?
- dressing casually, but appealingly (eg: jean/ tank top/ band shirt, funky top) vs dressed like a slut or business man - and still feeling sexy?
Most of all, do you like to DANCE like no one's watching? Then this is the place for you!
With a $10 cover after 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays, you get way more bang for your buck than some lame, unskilled DJ at an overpriced bar with overly fake, clown-faced and utterly unfriendly people.
As a female patron, the guys here are oh so very good looking. From musician to patron, I couldn't turn my head without seeing a cutie. Yet, many upscale bars - and almost all dives - can't claim to this. This place walks a fine - an oh so fiiiine - line that it works. :) Many do seem to be over-drunk, which is surprising since the drinks are quite watered down (at front bar especially - my vodka was imperceptible in a iced shot and vodka/cran). Yet, the prices are competitive ($6.50 for a bar rail mixed drink, 5.35 for a Cold shot.. etc). I think the bottled beer's the best bet. maybe that's what the guys were so hammered on...
The best bet after 10 is the live band. i love how even the guys here love to dance. I made so many new friends within minutes of arriving at 12 am on a Saturday night. There's also giant Connect Four or Giant Jenga for those who don't want to dance.
For people who say this is not a pick-up bar..well, maybe you just don;t have game! j/k I'm sure it all depends on luck and the night - like anywhere. WE were lucky. I met many a receptive cutie - and so did all of my friends - male and female.
A really good bet. Probably even better when it's not raining and the patio is open. :)
Looking forward to next time.
PS: The coat check girl is sooo sweet and awesome. I'm not sure if she said her name was Sarah or Darla (music was loud), but what a gem of a person!
