Welcome back to the bar! Apologies for being closed for so long, but we’ve had renovations going on. We were trying to fix that jukebox that kept playing nothing but crappy music. Along with maybe making this a more inviting place for people other… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Thematically Weird Rules”
