I went downtown on Saturday
9-9:30pm: Draft - This place across from the Amway was in the news as one of those poor unfortunate businesses that needed our support. What they need is a personality transplant. The staff was sullen and unwelcoming. It's way too Hispanic. That doesn't scream "class" to potential customers. There is one white girl, but, she is an Eastern European. That doesn't help. The (lack of) sophistication totally clashes with what the place itself is trying to say with its interior design. Low class and bitchy is not the same as high class and bitchy. One has been shown to be socially acceptable and the other will not be tolerated by anybody who has more than a credit union debit card in their wallet. Unsurprisingly, it was almost empty even though there was a free concert for Gen Xers down the street and it is the only bar on the street and it was cold and rainy outside.
9:30-10pm: I listened to the Sugar Ray concert down the block. Who knew they had at least six legitimate hits. Not bad for free. Too cold and rainy to stay.
10:30-11pm: Blank Space - I grabbed one drink before I gave into my cold. The place is getting more professional and a few hot girls stop by every once in a while.
