Thursday after work the crew and I decided to check out Ground Zero for their happy hour. Domestic drafts on tap for 2 bucks 4-7 PM, 7 days a week. Not bad at all. I also had their “Dixie” chili cheeseburger with sweet potato fries, which was really good.
While there, I took out my new camera and snapped a few pics of the place, for the benefit of those of you who haven’t been by yet. The place was relatively empty for happy hour, but it got busy by the time I left at 7:15. The camera appears nearsighted in these shots – sharp up close, blurry far away. Looks like I’ll have to figure out which of the 20 or so different picture modes on the camera is best for interior shots like these. It was brand new so I just shot on “auto” mode for the initial round of photos. A little blurry, but you can at least get an idea what the place looks like:
They did a good job of the place, making it feel like a nice restaurant while at the same time giving it the feel of an authentic juke joint. Like Huey’s, you can write on the walls with markers. Large, open dance floor right in front of the stage. I had a good time there and bartender Angie took good care of us. I doubt I’ll be there for happy hour every day, but it’s an alternative for days when the Saucer puts something nasty on Fire Sale.
More pics and posts to come today. I have some stuff I need to get done on my laptop, so I’m considering getting in the car and driving out to a Wi-Fi coffee shop in Midtown, maybe Otherlands.
