Snoopy's

How could it possibly be that Snoopy's has become "happening"?  I wanted to keep this little divey gem to myself, but the word is out, so I might as well join the crowd and spread it.  The word, that is.

So, you don't go to Snoopy's for the wine selection or to hang out with cigar aficionados. Snoopy's is a dirt-under-your-nails, beer and mixed drinks kind of place, but it's not the drinks that makes this Arabi treasure stand out.  It's the owners and the regulars that make the place special.  And Stephanie, the bartender.  She is smart, funny, sarcastic, and quick to refill a glass.  All good qualities in a bartender.  

This is a fine place to catch a game on TV, because, although the TVs aren't big, the crowd is fun to cheer with.  They usually have big parties for the 3 major horse races.  And Thursday night has become The Night at Snoopy's - live music by Irene Sage and friends.  There's a pool table, and the ladies room is small but always clean.  Frequently, the owners or a regular will bring a pot of food over to feed the masses.  If you stop by at happy hour, chances are that the regulars are all shouting out the answers to the Jeopardy questions, and chances are that I'm sitting there with them.  So pull up a stool, and say hi.

Warning - Snoopy's accepts cash only, but there's an ATM.  Nevertheless, to avoid an ATM fee, you might want to plan to show up with cash.
