Wk 6 - Fadó Irish Pub

A late but frequently rotating crowd attended last evening, in our debut at Fado.  Most everyone enjoyed a round of the Guiness Mac & Cheese off the happy hour food menu.  The large selection of traditional pub beers included bottomless Stella until 7pm and $4 Blue Moons.

Fado has a lot of space and plenty of places for a large group to spread out, but they did fill up later in the evening and their open mic kicked off at 9pm.  All in all a good time though and definetly a place we will need to visit again in the future.

Next week we are eyeing up the Hard Rock, not sure of the crowd due to the big events happening on Friday night, our second #SnugCrawl and the gala premiere of the Cirque show Viva Elvis.  More details on next weeks meeting will be posted on Facebook this weekend.

Wk 5 - Freakin Frog

Another week at the revitalized Freakin Frog, as we were coming off the GoWalla Swapmeet on Wednesday night, it seemed prudent to stay close to UNLV.  That did work to our benefit and we actually had a very respectable turn out.

The Freakin Frog had an excellent tap selection last night and we were joined by a couple new faces and few we had not seen for some time.  Although the crowd dwindled throughout the night, a few stayed on late into the evening.

Next week we will be trying a new venue, Fado Irish Pub in Henderson.

Wk 4 - Gordon Biersch

This week became the chance for us to finally start rolling out to other locations, and we were at Gordon Biersch.  Before you say, again, it was a different location, out in Summerlin at Boca Park.  They were rolling out their new seasonal HellesBock beer with a tapping party.

The tapping party at this location was a bit different from the ones held at the Paradise location, so although we did not really get to be part of the party, we had a good time.  The staff there was very accommodating to us and extended the bar only happy hour to us in the dining room.

A much quieter location we had the opportunity to have some interesting discussions with out the normal noise of some of the bars & restaraunts we frequent.
