So we walked up to Ugly's. Ugly's had a surprisingly modern digital jukebox, playing jazz, rock, country - well, a bit of everything! The bartender was very friendly & quick, and the drinks were reasonably priced. They have lots of good beer, including Fat Tire, on tap. It was a small & cozy place, but we didn't stay long because there were more bars to explore!
Next we hit Ron's Farmhouse. True to its name, it had a country theme inside, though it was definitely not a country western club. It was Karaoke night at the Farmhouse, which will always bring out an ecclectic crowd. The rotations were short, the song selection was good and the singers were, well, Karaoke singers. I don't think any of us should be expecting recording contracts any time soon ;-). This was a large place, with snacks on the bar. The drinks were tasty and again reasonably priced, but no beer on tap.
We've previously toured the dive bars on Middlefield Road, but I feel there are many more we just need to walk in and see what's inside. My favorite is probably still Fred's Place. Big bar, imports on tap, friendly bartenders and a pool table. :)
Since then I've been trying to get caught up & trying to nurse my grandmother's cat, Queenie, back to health. Unfortunately, he had FIP which is untreatable and fatal. We lost Queenie Tuesday morning, just after finally receiving a diagnosis. He will be sorely missed.
