When you want a loy key night out with friends you head over here. My experiences can be summarized into a short poem - Break dancing and playing video games Cheap beers Thursday Karaoke and stripper poles Beer pong Glowing lights and pics that better never surface on social media Mortal Kombat Best Night - Friday
Went out for Arcade Jax and had a blast - pretty decent bar and they have a wide range of liquors and a few beers on tap (more in bottles). If you're into the gaming scene you should really check out Arcade Jax though, they've got great music and TONS of games to play with raffles during the night! Gaming themed drinks were on point too!
Just a reminder - I am not a club hopper. MY idea of a night out is dinner and a movie. But when a friend challenged me to a bar hop night I came along just to laugh and "these young'ins". Little did I know then what I know now. Did you know bars now have stripper poles, video games on the big screen (wow is that a game cube!) and Ghostbusters on a projector? I could dig this. I almost feel 20 again.....quick hand me a drink and let's dance the night away. When I stumbled out 2 hrs later for a breath of fresh air and to step away from the enticing bar (and it's smashing bartender) I remembered thinking, "oh - this is what fun is!"
When someone says "Dive Bar tonight?", my reaction is usually the same: eyes-rolled, huge sigh..."fiiiiiine....". To the unseasoned patron, the idea of spending an evening in a bar with trippy posters and black lights, stripper poles, and the ever-present (usually military) wedding afterparty group seems low on the list of weekend priorities. And then, something magical happens. Yes, my friends. Alcohol. Lots and lots of cheap alcohol. Suddenly, those stripper poles, that creepy cylindrical room with fuzzy pillows and neon painted velvet Bob Marley posters, even a game of ping pong...it all. makes. perfect. sense. Not once have I walked...okay, stumbled out of here at 2am and thought, "What a waste of a perfectly good evening!" Perhaps the occasional, "What just happened?" or even a David and the dentist "Is this real life?" Anyway, my point is this: 1) visit. 2) drink. 3) wobble/cupid shuffle. 4) tylenol.
I just went to dive bar for the first time. It was a slow night, but still so much fun. The music was on point! The people that work there are super nice. If you go i highly suggest tyler for your bartender, hes the best. Tip him well, he deserves it!
