Went to play poker with my mom and hubby. The league is called 5280. I had such a great time. As a former bartender of 20+ years I tend to look for certain things such as being acknowledged as a customer, the consistency of services, and of course quality of drink.

Unless you are willing to pay 50 cents per song for the jukebox, expect to enjoy your trip to Longshots in complete silence. Yep, this bar doesn't even do ambient music.
