This picture looks different than I remember. In my memory, I picture a dentist office feeling, condo rec room, and more green, maybe it was the lighting. A friend rented out the back section for a private celebration. It was a good space for the occasion, offered pool tables :D, good food, open areas, plenty of tables and seating, a big screen TV (that was turned off), and of course-the bar! Love for the bartender who was the highlight of Bar#11-the alcohol content of each drink, as confirmed by all the alcoholics of the night, was exTREMEly generous. A straight up jack was closer to a double. Just hang on to your drink! The waitress couldn't wait to get out of there and kept bussing our drinks before we were finished. But she was nice, and they happily replaced our drinks (with even more stiff drinks), so all is forgiven. I kept asking for the music to be turned up, but the barely audible level was as loud as the XM radio would go. Being a hotel bar, they close early-1230a, so a group of us continued on..

Walking in around 1am, the teaches of Peaches welcomed our alcoholic bunch..."suckin' on my titties like you want some..." A dark, kind of gothic looking, high ceiling bar, with an enclosed, open air smoking patio more crowded than the main bar, that reminds me of where a dominatrix might go (even without Peaches). Chill and laid back indy crowd, pretty standard bar with good service (no Hangar vodka tho), we had our shots and drink rounds to satisfaction. More of a social bar, no dancing, but nevertheless contributed to my first drunken injury.
