Gloria’s … glorious.

After a long day of swimming at J Pepe’s, I needed something with fruit, ice, and more fruit. My pool buddy, Matt, and I walked over to Gloria’s and sidled up to the bar. The attactive bartender snappily brought our drinks, sangria for me and the usual Crown and soda for my friend. The drinks were strong enough to make it worth dragging our tired bones across the street.

Gloria’s is perfect for a few drinks before a concert at the Granada, date night, or a chill drink at the end of a long summer day. The sangria has fresh fruit chopped small enough to suck through the straw and avoid awkwardly fishing out the fruit with a spoon.

The best thing about Gloria’s???? Not having to remember when or what day has what special with what purchase. It’s as simple as this: Sunday – Thursday, all day, same price. Another reason Gloria’s is … glorious.

Hurricane Grill (CLOSED)

Wednesdays are the best days for a happy hour. It’s hump day, the day where you realize you still have two more whole days of work until the weekend. For me on Wednesday, the happy hour to look forward to was at Hurricane Grill.

Walking in the door, a rush of all of the fun nights spent there listening to the live music and playing Big Buck Hunter entered my mind. Snapped back to the present, I joined my party and ordered a $2 well vodka water.

The strong drinks encouraged conversation and a good time. Our waiter, John, was a blast and cracked jokes to entertain. Dinner was ordered and we all agreed that, while it tasted good, all three meals were overpriced.

Overall, a great evening. Try it on a Wednesday for a night out — you won’t regret it (though you may regret some decisions made after having strong drinks!).

J. Pepe’s (closed)

Here’s the deal … I’d love to write a witty intro for J.Pepe’s, but I’m hungover from all the fun that started there last night! 4 drinks and an enchilada dinner into my evening I was only $13.50 down and somewhat buzzed (which for me rarely happens after only 4 drinks). Pretty fantastic for a Monday evening.

The drinks aren’t too watered down, and the bartender, Asher, was really nice (even though he wouldn’t replace our salsa??). I told him to make me my next drink when it got down to a certain line on the glass … and he did. Quite impressive. He even gave us input on a discussion we were having.

They also have a pool that people can actually use – enough said.

Bottom line: J.Pepe’s has the right idea … cheap drinks, friendly people, and a pool. Done.
