Yelp
I was recently introduced here thanks to the Empress and her wonderful events. If it wasn't for that (and a weird twist of fate that otherwise happened that night), I probably would never have made it here. Now, I have full intentions of coming back!
So, this place is apparently a smaller music venue, that is literally has City Hall, and the courthouse as its neighbors- so feeling safe shouldn't even be an issue here. There is some parking out front, but a huge lot behind the courthouse. it's like a minute walk. Literally. Or you can even take Marta- long story short, this Alpharetta Suburbanite made it here in one piece, in under an hour (during rush hour), so if I can, then I sure as hell know you can!
This is a brick 3-4 story building. You walk in, go up the steps, and bam- you have 3 options- the pisser(s), the listening room, or the rooftop patio (which I went to). I am sure there are more options, but I didn't go snooping around.
For a Thursday night in the middle of May, Kathleen couldn't have picked a better night to pick this event- although it was a weatherproof patio (complete with 3 tvs, and multiple warming units), you couldn't ask for a nicer ambiance.
I went up to Dave (one of the 2 bartenders) and asked him about the Yelp event coming. He said to sit whereever. So my buddies and I picked a corner table. He came right over with menus and greeted us. He also told us about the $4 pork tacos, $4 fish tacos, and all drafts were $4 (thank you, Yelp!). I started with the pork, a Yunegling, and I think another drink. And did they come out fast or what! The tacos came out before the rest of the Yelpers came, I was pleased by that!
The food came, and for $4, damn it was good! In fact so good, I ended up getting fish tacos, which were awesome as well! When Dave got busy, Nikki (sp?) was the other bartender who served us. She was a doll, very helpful and courteous too. We enjoyed her company.
After all of the drinking and eating we did, we were expecting an easy $70+ PP tab, but I shit you not, it was like $35PP average- I couldn't believe it! Hell, we even got dessert too!.
Getting to see familiar faces and meeting new faces (and bringing my friends {which are newer Yelpers} out) is always pleasing. This was an awesome time that I will not forget! Can't wait to come back here! The food was solid, especially for a venue! I can dig it! This was literally, just shy of a 5 star event!
Also note, the patio is nonsmoking, so you will have to step outside if you want to smoke- I did like that, as I have been going 2 years without smoking...
Dave even gave us a music schedule for the upcoming events, and I will be sure to check a few out!
Thanks again to everyone who made this a great evening!
