Last night I hit Circa for their Wednesday night happy hour special, $8 wine flights. You get three 2 oz. pours per flight. The bartender started describing the different flights, and I quickly realized that I don’t know nearly as much about wine as I know about beer. “I like white wine,” I told her. “Pick something for me.” So she did.<\/p>\n

\nAll three were good but the one on the right was my favorite. I should’ve taken notes for my next trip to the liquor store.<\/p>\n

After Circa we moved down the street to Sauces, where our friend Ugly Steve was bartending.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\nUgly was one of my bartenders during EP’s: The Early Days. Good to see him back behind a bar, and I predict that Sauces will have a regular Downtown crowd with him there.<\/p>\n

After that it was time to hit the Saucer, where they had a tolerable fire sale (Flying Dog Tire Bite) for once. And after that it was on to Hoop’s Bar.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nHung out there mostly, wandering into EP’s when it was time to recycle beer. I always go down to the first floor restrooms so I can see the entire place. Interesting crowd last night.<\/p>\n

Hoop’s Bar now has food, and so I got their version of Paul’s Drunkass Wings to go. Their wings are meaty and breaded. Attn Ranch Girl: They apparently get their ranch from the same place as the Saucer.<\/p>\n

Plans for tonight: Saucer, then Hoop’s Bar\/EP’s. I need to e-mail my friend Kennedy and find out if the “VEP” promotion is happening this week. If so I’ll post details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
