Cruising the Shore

This is a public service announcement that will be Semi-Regular. I will detail events taking place at some real nice places to go listen to bands, enjoy pub events or just drink in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. For your information:

The Corner Tavern Pool Team will be at Point Break on Wednesday, February 13, 2008.
Point Break is a place where the working class gets a little loud, but are a lot of fun. The people are from all walks of life and all ethnic backgrounds. Good drinking bar, descent jukebox – good bartenders. Come on out and support the Corner Tavern Pool Team and its Captain, Carol Lee. The Pizza served is for shooters only. (Unless the Bartender says otherwise) There at 445 Hempstead Turnpike, West Hempstead across from Cherry Valley Mall. Call (516) 486-9583 for directions and events.

Good Times Pub on 1 Sunrise Highway in Freeport is a cool place with a 30’s-50’s age group that’s there on Tuesday Nights which has a Jazz Jam and open mike on Tuesday Nights. A good mix of folks, well stocked bar, and Sisters and Bro’s that can sang. (Yeah I said ‘sang). Located on the South Side of Sunrise Highway between Main St and Church St.

A good place to be on Saturday Night is Bronko’s Bar & Grill located on 1177 Grand Avenue, Baldwin. If you travel south on Grand Avenue from Sunrise its in the Associated Supermarket Shopping Mall (large parking lot park on the North End of the lot). If you get off the Southern State Parkway at exit 20 South once you get on Grand Avenue get in the left lane and make a left at the second traffic light. (You’ll see the shopping center).

Saturday Night Schedule is as follows: February 16th JEEBUS (a rock and roll bar band) will be playing live starting at 9:00 PM. GLORY DAZE will be playing February 23rd. This band is supposed to be pretty good. This weekend, February 9th will be the annual MARDI GRAS PARTY starting at 9:00 PM. They will be serving Jambalaya and Dirty Rice (i.e. Rice and Red Beans, I think), Hurricane Drinks, there will be Masks and Beads and other events. I might come out for this. For Country lovers, SOUTHERN DAVE (Dave Cion) will be playing on March 1st.

For those of you who don’t want to go West Hempstead on Wednesday, go to BACKSTAGE at 948 Broadway in Woodmere. Gary and Laurie who brought you SCAREOKE and other kareoke events will be there inviting all to sing up a storm. Don’t wait for a next time in your barstool. Get off you barstool next time there is a show. That’s every Wednesday Night at 8:00 PM.

Stuck in a rut. Designate a Driver, get the crowd and get the fuck out of your funk (i.e. the dive). Renew you pub life.
