Theater Schmeater (#63)

This is a service bar, and I don't think it really counts. But we've drunk here more often than most places, cause we see the Money and Run series very regularly, and we were seeing Money and Run Episode 3 after leaving the Cha Cha, so here we were, and here we drank. Here we also met up with Tony and Farida and three others of their friends, and here we saw a great play for the second time, and I still laughed my ass off.

The bartenders at the little bar are a bit raw. A lot raw. Our bartender, called only so because she was indeed tending a bar, as in, watching over it, didn't know what was in a Screwdriver. And then, couldn't make one, because there wasn't any orange juice. Nor was there any rum. It was oddly like showing up to a houseparty late in the night and realizing it was a Ginny McGin or nothing. The place has only the vaguest connection to an actual bar.

But, it provides a wonderful service. You can get your drink, watch your play, and even get another drink at intermission. They run drink specials in accordance with the play being performed, and while a lot of those drinks show evidence of having been concocted by someone who doesn't know how to tend bar, they're at least original. And the prices are okay, especially if you've already shelled out the money to see a play.

So I won't recommend the bar, cause you can't just walk in and have a drink. But I will say, see a play at Theater Schmeater, cause they're good and good people, and while you're there, have a drink, just because you can take it into the theater with you.
