    Right meaning the bartenders and staff, proper pours, glassware, etc... If its a bunch of skinny, hot, female beer experts, ill be a little worried...

    heehee. personally, i was thinking that as long as the beer's good, i'm totally cool with skinny hot female beer experts pouring it ; ) -- hell, it could be a fat bearded tattooed guy too. i'm not particular.

    my wife's got a first friday event down the street a block or two at her art gallery, i'll be over afterward.

    Gotcha. I knew about the Friday performer. I was under the impression they were having a "soft opening" which is not generally advertised to the general public at large. Maybe I watch too much Bar Rescue.

    it's entirely possible I mixed posts together in my head and you are correct, but either which way the taps open on Friday and one can only assume the taps will flow freely.

    So we can say that Rob sent us, said you were open now, and that the taps are free? :slight_smile:

    Soft opening was last night. Real opening is Friday. Stage is set up elevated behind the bar. Interesting set up.

    Definitely some knowledgable people working there and most pours we had were in proper glassware. Very psyched for this place.

    I guess my "special invite" got lost in the mail. Ask people to promote your place and then...........

    Anything noteworthy on tap, i.e. something not available at other locations in town?

    From what I remember all stuff on draft is stuff that at one point in time could be on at Yogi's except there were a decent amount of tripels and other Belgian beers I don't see much. One of the bartenders said they'd be trying to get more sours in as well.

    My girlfriend and I went through these last night to give you an idea.
    Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout
    Fountain Square Pilsner
    Monk's Cafe (only sour on draft)
    Weihenstephaner Hefe

    The Weihenstephaner Hefe was on tap? Yumm.
