The 821 Lounge

821 Lounge aka O'briens isn't what it used to be.
haven't been here in decades and it definitely isn't an irish pub no more. not even a pub.
decor hasn't changed in  decades. clientele has.
patrons have a darker complexion and older.. parking lot's the same, lots of pitholes. no striping.to aid parking.

heartell there's a comedy club here now. ha ha ha

happy hour: .50 off all drinks, only 3 drafts (?-7)
$3 shots all day, every day, selected pours

flatscreen: sports

pour: smirnoff expresso (3)
-expresso taste, mostly smirnoff, wild turkey and other whiskeys/bourbons available

on draft:
-coming here  violates John Derkeyshire's  (formerly national review columnist) "screed"
-"(10b)do not attend events likely to draw a lot of blacks"
-my response: "f... " john.
-everyone had a good time here, no problems at all.
-not a rad nor fad place,  just a cool place to hang with buds.

Really cool spot. Haven't caught the comedy show yet but stopped by for drinks. Nice and strong and reasonably priced. They have a small stage that I can imagine is good for comedy. I would say its too small for dancing...but don't tell the regulars cuz they make it work! After a few drinks...this bar turns into a full fledged CLUB! :-)

*a long sigh* well for starters I'm not sure what this place really is! So it seems to be a bar, and a comedy club, and a pool hall, and a dance club, and a restaurant! This place has an identity crisis! The food...... w.WOW! Never will I. The drinks are good... but deadly strong. Which is fine with me. That means I only need 1 or 2. Watching sporting evens here can be a difficult as well.. not many chairs or tables. (Plus actuall size of the club floor is very small). Now to the comedy! To be a comedian and come to this place you need to have balls of steel! The stage is literally 3 feet from the audience.. but overall not my cup of tea when it comes to going out and having a drink, or eat, or watch a game, or see comedy, or anything else this place has to offer!  BOO!
