| - So I belong to a group of travelers who meet up every Thursday and we do so at a different dive bar or lounge every week. Last Thursday it happened at Thunderbird Lounge.
My first impression as I was the first one to arrive, was not very good, but kept an open mind as usual. The parking lot is dark and deserted. The entryway wasn't easy to find but we managed. There were only 2 guests at the bar. The bar is very comfortable, but there was nobody else. This was at 8pm.
As my guests started to arrive the crowd gathered and we were suddenly about 30 people in my group.
Drinks were not expensive, but were served in these tiny glasses unless you asked for a bigger glass.
Sarah, the bartender, was this pretty little Philipina girl who was super nice and accommodating. We took her by surprise! She wasn't expecting us. I hope she made some beaucoup bucks!
The TV had the news on when we arrived, but Sarah quickly put some music on the jukebox/system. There was no band or any kind of show on a Thursday night.
Some of us were hungry and since Thunderbird doesn't offer food, Sarah did provide us with some menus for delivery which we took advantage of.
The lounge is painted bright red and has great retro pictures of Hollywood's most famous people.
We left around 11ish or 12 only cuz the group had disintegrated by then, we were only like 6 or 7 people. So we moved on to another dive, but we enjoyed our visit!
This place definitely deserves a second chance, at least in my book!
