Several of my friends and I ventured over to Itta Bena for their Wednesday Downtown Night, and I gotta give it an A+. The people who work there went out of their way to make us feel at home, and the drinks were good. And the complimentary appetizers they put out – WOW! There was salmon and cream cheese and capers and crackers, and they also put out an antipasto dish and a cheese spread that looked like it had artichoke hearts in it. I got pictures but I’m on a real short time frame this morning before I have to get to work. Will post them later this week, or maybe I’ll wait ’til next Wed to post them as a reminder. Got a couple of great crowd shots too, including a pic of Yoko taking a pic of me from the other side of the room.
Itta Bena is going to become a regular Wednesday night stop, I predict.
After that, went to the Saucer to watch the game. It was a Mexican-themed beer night for me:
Previous total: $134.50
Beers:
Dos Equis Amber Fire Sale $2.75
Modelo Especial bottle $4.00
Corona Light bottle $4.25
Tip: $11 x ~30% = $4.00
Total: $15.00
Grand total: $149.50
The high point of the evening occurred after I finished my 3 plate beers. It wasn’t the Valentine’s Day glass (I didn’t buy one) or the Tiger victory. No, the high point of the evening occurred when they ran out of Dos Equis Amber and had to switch the Fire Sale to DOS EQUIS SPECIAL LAGER!!!!! Suddenly what I intended to be an early night became a late one. The waitress who calls me her “BFF” had my tab and got off early, and politely requested me to close her tab by saying “PAY!!!” I’d call that the rudest close-out request ever, but since The Romanian Sensation used to work at the Saucer it’s not even close. My BFF was probably shocked that I didn’t come over to McGuinness to hang out after she got off. Sorry, babe… Special Lager > you.
Finally going to get to try Circa for lunch today. Looking forward to that.
