Where is it that somebody, anybody, knows your name? That you’re greeted with a hearty “welcome”! ? Or the bartender remembers what you prefer to drink and begins crafting your cocktail after receiving only a subtle nod of your head.
One local watering-hole, The Point, is home to the Beer Boys on Friday afternoons. It invites over 21 year olds only. Baby Boomers make the cut. No kids allowed. We like kids but not always when enjoying a coveted cocktail. Where do you find an adults-only setting anymore?
Another local establishment, The Tin Room, located in a former small business where they made I’m-not-sure-what from tin, features cloth napkins and cocktails poured from shakers into a proper cocktail glass right at your table. The bartender definitely knows your name and would shake your hand pre-Covid. It’s a place where you feel like you belong.
It’s nice to belong. That’s the point.
