A Friday night out

There's a tiki bar less than a block away from me that I have been meaning to try for almost as long as I have lived here.  As the work week came to an end, I decided I wanted to go find somewhere to have a cocktail on this Friday night and so this tiki bar came to mind.  

But I didn't want to go drinking on an empty stomach and I also didn't want to cook so I started my evening at the greek restaurant next door.  They have really gotten to know me there.  A manager stopped by my table welcoming me back and servers that weren't my server's made a point to greet me as well.  It really feels kind of good to be known.

And then after enjoying dinner, I walked over to this tiki bar.  I found a seat at the bar, perused the menu, and chatted with the bartender to get recommendations.  It was a really unique place with amazing drinks that were presented so well.  There was a flower in one of my drinks!  Another of my drinks was poured in a vessel that looked like a cobra snake!

I find it interesting how quickly I have become comfortable going out on my own like this.  I didn't even think twice.  I just decided what I wanted for tonight and went out and did it.  And what a night I had!
