I do love my dive bars and there is nothing quite like walking into a dive for the first time. Â I've worked at and been to plenty of dive bars in my life time so what makes The Blind Pig unique? Â
Walk in the door and go to your left you will find a room full of fun and games! Â Skee ball (my fav) Â I promise you will not beat me at skee ball, but keep walking and you will find basketball, darts, pool, a punching bag and well of course a bar. Â
Now take route number two and walk through the doors and down the steps. Â Maybe it was because it was Memorial Day weekend or a Friday night I don't know but this night there was a pretty rocking hippy dance-fest going on...one of the things I really enjoyed about this bar was the crowd it was very eclectic and brought all kinds of people together.
Now after all the indoor games and dancing it was time to check out the back patio.
I'm loving all the outdoor patios popping up in the QC and this place has one to brag about. Â Why? Â Huge outdoor space featuring you guessed it more games; connect four, twister, corn-hole, jenga (life size versions of your favorite board games)!
No food but lots of entertainment and very friendly bartenders. Â A new favorite hang out hmm I think so!
I like this bar a lot, especially the service. The bartenders are very attentive and are quick to help me pick a drink as I'm often indecisive or unsure of what mixes well together.
I love the games - twister, cornhole, giant jenga, random board games, Skeeball and air hockey! The games make a typical night out much more interesting and is good for groups, as there's something for just about everyone here.
The bar definitely gets very crowded, so I like to come a little early and claim a table or dress to be comfortable enough on the patio out back. In the winter, there is a tent up with heat lamps which makes a game of cornhole or Twister outside a viable option when it's freezing.
Only downside is there are only 2 bathrooms, so lines get long and you're waiting in the middle of a walkway which can get uncomfortable. It's a minor drawback to a great place to spend a night out though!
