    That place totally rocks. A few things to note:
      1) The don't even sell ANY crappy beer. NO bud, bud light, miller lite, blah, blah, blah. That's a good thing, until you see #2 below 2) the beer is expensive (not too much of a problem, i mean it's super great beer, until you see #3 below). 3) the DO NOT take credit cards. Cash only (again, not a problem, but you need to plan ahead). 4) since the beers are so "good" they're all relatively high alcohol content (again, not a problem, just plan accordingly... I'm not gonna miss Vedder coz i had "only 4 beers" but they were 9% alcohol etc. etc.
    Bottom line, still a great place, but you'll need/want to consider some stuff first. Proximity is great.

    I know the owner of another bar a bit farther away called The Red Square. I'm going to talk to him about setting something up for Mon and/or Tues night. Might be better for the after party?. I'll keep ya'll posted. Gonna be 2 great nights!!!!!

    I know my friends bar is pretty strict about the 21 thing. Wolfs is also a food place (i would NOT call it a restaurant), and I've never seen them card at the door. So i'm thinking that place you could go in, sit down, and MYOB.... they serve coke/sprite, etc. there as well (of course).
