No, I meant, that it would be fun to review the ghetto bars and clubs, too. 

isnt everyone?  Its kind of a prerequisite for a club god isnt it?
lol.

[TREE4309]

That's true, except I'm definitely more of a bar fly than pub god.  Or were you referring to her?  ha!

Oh, I see how it is!

We used to do a straight up dive circuit:  Bottle of beer and a game of princess pool, across the scariest bars in the city every couple of months or so.

It always started at Studs Pub. 

I like this, what places came next?

[TREE4309]

What's the fun in going places that give me a negligible likelihood of getting shanked for eyeballing a drunken maniac?  I love dive bars!

[Jennifer Browning]

Ahh... yes, "gobsmacked" is a good word for it!  It was a blast, though!

[Ocklawaha]

Very nice Stephen, which place was it that I met Father... "What's his name..." and had the doubles of "Boiler Water?" Or is this the same place where y'all tried to get me standing 90% to the ground? By any system, nice, nice folks.

BTW? What happened to the skateboard thing? Good clubs.

Ian@ Shantytown

[Ocklawaha]

I believe that was Mark's. old friend

Well, hell, they get a "5" from me. Maybe they just looked better at a 45% angle?

Jeez, Ock. Sounds like you are the life of the party at the meet and greets. 

Still waiting on more info on the Baldwin rail history (or point me where to find it). Thanks in advance

Are the Shantytown pictures recycled?
I think I see someone in one of them that hasn't lived in town for a couple of months....

Good start. Reviewing bars/clubs/venues is extremely hard to do, mainly because the crowd, drink specials, etc. can change daily. For instance, TSI on a Tuesday night for Karaoke is generally not going to have the same vibe as Penny PBR Fridays or Intermission Saturdays. I consider myself a nightlife aficionado, especially in the Jacksonville area. As much as people won't realize it, the Jacksonville scene is as dynamic as any I've encountered, it just takes a gentle understanding of social movement in the city. I think this will be a good project, but in all honesty, I really agree with some of the commentary about the rating system. A lot of it is going to be exceedingly subjective. I am also a firm believer in needing to get to know a bar by experiencing an entire night there before passing judgment. Spending an hour here or there really does not give an accurate perspective of the ebb and flow of a place; happy hour at Park Place is going to attract the a different crowd or create a different atmosphere than Park Place just after happy hour is over.

I met Jennifer a few weeks ago at TSI and believe she will do a good job fettering out the nuances of the city's watering holes. I just hope she takes her time and paces herself, both with the project and the oatmeal cookie shots.
