The Weekender

Friday, March 15, 2002

WHOH.....to my surprise a new, but CHILLY spot is Trapdoor. You guys have probably rolled thru here on a Friday or Saturday night. It's usually poppin of course on those nights.... Yes, the Weekender went out on a Thursday night...but hey...what a way to start off the weekend....and I didn't have work the next day.....

So what to say....welp, my girl and I roll up and of course get pimp parkin right out front... OH by the way it's located on Scott and Chestnut...Ok....so there's no cover and of course it's 21 and over... We walk through the red velvet curtains and there's is NO ONE HERE...well a couple of peeps...but really it was EMPTY and FREEZING....I guess that's how it usually is when it's not crowded w/ all the bodies to warm up the place... But they had a nice fire place goin on.... There's one booth, 2 tables w/ bar stools in the middle....the bar on your left and the dj and dance floor at the far end....w/ mirrors all around.... As for the bathroom...this was kinda funky...i think it's a universal bathroom... the door is open and you walk up two steps...and there's the toilet.... HOW QUAINT IS THAT.....

So we post at the bar and decided to get 1 drink and meet up w/ our girl at Cosmos.... Well we sat there, talked and then the bartenders made us what they call a "Washington Apple." That was some tasty shot....Pretty good...So of course we had to ask they're names, make conversation and learn how to place DICE. We weren't plannin on stayin long since it was pretty dead...but wasn't sure if our girl was headed over to meet us instead... Well they kept feedin us drinks so of course there was no way I could drive....

Well low and behold.....at the other end of the bar is an old friend of mine......Oh damn...he did roll thru after all.... So all in all....this turned out to be a good night...They were playin pretty cool hip-hop....Old skool mixed in w/ some mainstream..... all good.... Not hella crowded... But I will tell you this....I think peeps were from USF since they kept giving shouts out to USF the whole night....LOL!!!!! All good though...but if you're lookin for a place to just chill, listen to some good music and watch the bartenders mimic Cocktails and play DICE w/ the bartenders.... then Trapdoor is it.... I'll definitely be back to visit our friends Brian and Graham... the Dynamic Duo!!!!
