Music selection hit that sweet spot between crowd-pleasers and some deeper cuts that showed they actually know what they're doing behind the decks.The pool tables were in good condition and got plenty of use throughout the night.

How about that service! Luckily, when they ran out of Lone Star in the well she only had to walk in the back room and brought back a handful of Lone stars for me. Cool. And thank you. Hold on . She just brought me another cold one, and I didn't have to ask. Oh Haley. Rock on. Ok folks, this bar is Chuck Miller approved. Get in here. The End. By...
