Take Me Out to the Rangers!

Well, I know I normally blog about places, today I am blogging about my sports. I know this is odd, just looking forward to Game 4. I know we have had a rocky start, not too bad though, the Rangers have a chance if we can step up to the plate, the Cardinals have hitters that are working us over. We need to focus and stay ready against Pujols and shut him down. Now on to my normal, Game 1 of the World Series I watched at Hooligans, one of my favorite places, they know how to take care of their people, Game 2 I was at work, I stayed at home, and watched the last of it in my living room. Game 3 was at The Labb, I like that place if you are looking for a good crowd that gets into a game. Now I am going to have a "wag of my finger" moment, to all the Rangers' fans out there, I know they are our team, I am as passionate as everyone else, yet can we turn up the Texas hospitality to those that are the opposing team. This is the one thing that I believe why people tend to not like Texas teams at times. So, I want people to be good sports and know things happen, we will get beat at times, but the series is not over. Go Rangers! Also, this weekend went to see the inside of the Mellow Mushroom. The decor and atmosphere here is very Denton style. A relaxed feeling along with friendly atmosphere for everyone. For the reports I have heard, the food is excellent and hand tossed pizza can never be wrong. So go check this place out as well and ask for Rosie or Coop, they will take good care of you.

I Finally Found My Way

Ok kids, here it is, My day has been riddled with interesting things, first off, the blog title has a reason, the lead singer and bassist of KISS is now married, that's right, Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed tied the knot this weekend. I am a little proud and know that for people that are "dating" and it seems like they will never commit, this is your hopeful story. 

On to the real reason we are here, RT's has recently introduced a new menu, Trey has outdone himself. I know this is hard to believe, but, the new menu items are interesting and fitting. First off, the fried olives are something that is heaven in your mouth, the salty mix with bleu cheese (not misspelled) stuffed olives have a great texture and flavor, they are a little bit interesting at first, but once you figure out what you are tasting, it is a great little appetizer that will make you come back for more. Then there is the the mini corn dogs and the Philly cheese steak sandwich, these are mouth watering awesomeness, my friend had the Philly and had a pudding grin throughout the whole thing. I had the mini corn dogs, they are a great mixture of sweet salty goodness, billed as an appetizer, this can be a meal for those that just want a little something. There are also now flavored popcorn and other interesting items that will make you think twice about ordering the standard fare here. 

We then headed to Lewisville, I know, not Denton, yet I am still about the area, they need love too. There we were at Vitty's where I was able to relax outside during this wonderful weather. DJ Paul Andrews was there hosting a party outside on the patio, fun was being had, all the adults could have fun while the kids could run around and feel apart of the experience. Jordyn, Cliff, Russ, April and the rest of the staff will take care of you if you want to book a party on the patio. They will make your experience a good one. When you are looking for a place to host a party, family get together, or just friends that have been looking for a place to meet and reconnect, this is it. 

Later I went to Hooligans, yes again, yet had a new experience with the staff. They do make you feel at home here, when you feel like no bar will take you in, stop by and they will take you in as a regular from the first day. Tye (sorry if I spelled that wrong), Jordan and the rest of the waitstaff are wonderful and have ideas and suggestions that will make you want to sing the theme to Cheers when you are there, you feel like everyone knows your name.They always have made my experience there a good one and made me feel comfortable.

A great night was had by all and I thank all my servers and bartenders, and remember that tips are the BEST way to thank them.

Lazy Saturday

Well, it has been a long day at work. But, would like to let people know about the fun that is going to be around Denton this weekend. Of course if you didn't get your fill of football on Saturday with all the great college games, Sunday is all about the big boys, the NFL. There are a few bars that I believe are some of the best to watch the game. First you have The Labb, if you haven't been there yet, try it out. Then there is always Hooligans, the upstairs you can lounge and watch the game.

There is also the Denton Blues Festival at Quakertown Park finishing up tomorrow if you want some live music. There is always some live music later on around the square.

There is always something happening in Denton, so get out kids and have some fun before classes start for the week. Always remember to tip your servers and bartenders.

You Hooligans, Get Off My Lawn!!!

Just kidding, love you guys. I had a great time at Hooligan's on the square. This place is great, I want to shout out to my bartender who is workin' for the weekend, thanks Mandy, you were awesome and kept me feeling like I was part of the crowd. When you walk into Hooligan's you have two options, upstairs or downstairs, the upstairs is relaxing with two lounge areas and two pool tables, there are some tables to just sit and reeeelaxxx. If you have a smart phone, you can download the Buzztime Trivia App and play along, and there are TV's that show it and see how you are doing against your friends.

Then there is the downstairs, a little more hustle and bustle, but fun none the less. The bartenders will take care of you, you can pick some good cheesy music (this is a little local secret), and see if you have the best song. There is a lot more to this place, with a pub feel with a great time to be had, go out and have some fun. I also will say, the menu there is real good, the fried pickles are some of the best, props to the cooks who can make that right.

To sum up, go out to Hooligans, for a good time and some good drinks and food. The people are great and the atmosphere is wonderful. No matter who you are, you are bound to have some fun if you are looking for a different place.
