The Weekender

Tuesday, September 23, 2003

Talk about a busy weekend. The Weekender is back in the scene..but also payin for it... I'll talk about that later. So how did it start off? Bliss Bar. Located in Noe Valley of San Francisco, Noe and 24th to be exact..i think... If you know this part of the city, it's pretty cool. Kind of a quiet area, where peeps walk their dogs on Saturday/Sunday mornings, chill on a bench and have some coffee and go to the local hardware store to pick up a garden hose. But little does anyone know that there's a pretty cool bar on the same street as Pasta Pomodoro. I had to plug that in. hee hee hee.. It's literally 4 doors down from the eatery. Awsome and I went there to meet up w/ Lasing for a social hosted by The Guammies. There's usually parking along 24th Street. We actually found parking right in front. Pimp parking right??? NOT! If you guys have ever parked in front of a bar, all sorts of things could happen. Say...a fight breaks out and your window gets busted, or your car gets puked on by some drunk...FRESH! But none of that happened...just that these poots started leanin on the side of the car, fingerprints all over the passenger window. I'll let your imaginations run wild w/ that one. hee hee hee..

Anyways, back to the bar. So of course it's 21 and over. No cover, which is always nice. You walk in and you've got the dj on your left in front of the window. What I thought was HILARIOUS was that the little window in front of his his turns was open and this guy just put his head thru and started choppin it up w/ the DJ. Talk about drive-thru request!!! HAHAHHAHA. Also on your left is a long bar w/ two bartenders. On your right you've got a wall and as you walk straight ahead it opens up a little more w/ plush couches on your right w/ small coffee tables and then another area to your left . I believe there is a minature dance floor in between these two settings but unfortunately it's usually filled w/ people standing and mingling. There's 2 bathrooms w/ only one toilet each. So make sure, you pace yourself w/ your drinks cause you could be waiting for A WHILE!!! In the back, there's another room up some stairs and this is usually a VIP area where you have more couches and actually a white screen w/ a projector if you ever wanna show those porn animes that you be seeing nowadays.

Okay so you may be asking "well how's the music?" Actually, it was really good. Well of course I love R&B and hip-hop when I go to a bar and that's what they were playing pretty much all night. Well at least until we left at midnight. I know i've talked about Bliss Bar on a previous entry and that night they did play high energy. But all in all, I would say, stop by Bliss Bar whether you've just eaten at Pasta P's or it's still early and you wanna catch a drink and hang out for a bit. Either way, you can't lose.
