Let Us Entertain U: As you know readers, I do my best to make the rounds of the area outlets, actually "walking the walk as I talk the talk," about supporting these establishment as social alternatives. Yet to my surprise, I've been somewhat perplexed at the varying turn out that I've w
itnessed despite scheduled events for your pleasure. Both me and my companion have been startled when we've found ourselves to be the only faces in the place. At STAR Bar, 1900 W. 3rd Street, on a Friday evening, we were the only "two" patrons in this ultra metro spot. Although it was early evening, around post happy hour, for the next hour we had the place all to ourselves. We enjoyed some pricey, but tasty and beautifully presented appetizers in the cool lounge (pictured), listened to the DJ's mood music, strolled out to the "smoking area," with it's Tiki Torches, settled up the tab and moved on. On another outing on a Saturday evening at 601 Center, we found ourselves again, yes again, with our personal bartender, "Jeff", whom stated that he was glad that we dropped in since we were the first and only patrons during his shift. As a familiar face, we mused about a variety of topics as videos played overhead and we enjoyed cold beverages. My partner kept saying, what's wrong with this picture? I retorted that perhaps they knew I was coming so they were waiting till I was gone to come out! Silly me. Nonetheless, I realize that I've recoiled from the "late night" face in the crowd set, but finally we have outlets that do open early for those who are not on a midnight prowl. So this possible alternative is available for the taking on both sides of the river. Want a preview, then check out STAR BAR's chic website at http://www.starbarlounge.com/
