Pub Crawl - Antique and Audubon Garden Districts: Imperial, Redlight Redlight, Taps From Scratch

I had drinks at the following places on Friday.

8-8:20pm: Imperial Wine Bar & Beer Garden - I was early for dinner so I had a glass of wine at the spot on N. Orange and New Hampshire. It's a converted furniture store (can still buy pieces on display). They do have a small patio (beer garden). There were about twenty people there. It attracts a beer and wine crowd (no vodka red bullers). Too early to judge.

9:30-10pm: Redlight Redlight - They moved to Corrine Drive (near Sushi Lola). The place in warehouse chic. It was pretty full. It reminded my of any place in Colorado ski country. There were few girls with makeup and few shaved men. I was feeling tired and run down anyway, but, I left because of the reverse bigotry of one of the bartenders. The kind that thinks tolerance is a one way street. A one way street that leads to you accepting his idiosyncrasies but not to his accepting yours. This smug, ginger haired cherub big timed a poor guy (who was a fish out of water) who didn't know it wasn't "acceptable" to still be asking for Budweiser. This pubic hair faced, hay seed who attended public school and whose parents never earned more than the $18,000 a year he is now pulling in, kept feigning ignorance when this poor guy kept asking for a Bud. Do you really think the pretension of rejecting mass market goods makes you special? Maybe in your own special world. But, step out of it and you will be squashed like the self important bug you are. You haven't earned the right to be a snob. You are just a working class douche in a dead end town. That aside, it was a pretty cool place.

10-10:05pm: Taps From Scratch - I ran out of gas at this "tap room" across from Stardust (E. Winter Park Rd). It's basically a house with (beer) taps in each room. There is also an art gallery vibe. I didn't stay to see what you need to do to get served. I suppose you pay the guy up front for a cup. It was exactly like showing up a tepid high school party in which you don't know anybody (because they are not popular). Wouldn't do it then. Couldn't do it now.
