officially<\/em> open yet, per se.\u00a0 Kevin, our on-the-spot server\/bartender\/manager was as helpful as could be, given that the accommodations are still being brought in and set up as the days progress.\u00a0 They started serving customers pretty much from the day they got the plush sofas in, about a month or two ago, and they plan to have an official Grand Opening someday soon.<\/p>\nAs far as food service goes, it appears as though they started-and-stopped a couple times on food service plans, and at the time of this writing they don’t have any food service at all.\u00a0 However, nobody objected to us having a pizza ordered in from two doors down!\u00a0 It was great old-school pizza….<\/p>\n
Now we know that the new cigar laws are just stupid, crazy, and hardly-enforceable.\u00a0 Even the establishment owners are having a hard time figuring out exactly what to do.\u00a0 This is why I think I’m developing a new philosophy:\u00a0 I’m going to start going to cigar-dedicated places, and buy a cigar for the evening ON THE SPOT, as well as the usual drinks (and food if possible).\u00a0 Folks, they need your patronage to survive, and due to the new laws, that includes tobacco sales.\u00a0 Then, buy their liquor.\u00a0 And, *if* they are able to figure out how to serve food (or proxy it for you), ask them and buy it from\/through them.\u00a0 So stop by, spend some money, encourage them… \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
So we definitely plan to be back.\u00a0 In fact, we all discussed doing our August gathering there as well…<\/p>\n
Officially in attendance:\u00a0 Mark, Ron, Jeremy, Baxxx, Jason, and Marc<\/p>\n\n\t\t
