Okay, so it's technically Wednesdee... but we're fresh off the TB boat so it's excusable, right? For tonight's adventure, we went to an old favorite of ours, KGB. Like most good bars, it can get annoyingly packed on the weekends, but on weeknights, this place is a gem. It sounds trite, but there's really no telling what kind of crazy characters you can meet here... including but not limited to the awesome Tuesday night bartender, Seiji.
The music here tends to be shoegaze or classic rock (depending on the bartender) and always solid. The decor is Russian kitsch meets your grandma's den. Drinks are straightforward and decently priced. If you're feeling a little spendy, ask to try the bison grass vodka, an off-the-menu specialty-- sweet and earthy, like a spring day that gets you buzzed.
This place is easy to miss, as there is only a small sign and it's on the second floor above a theatre... one word of warning though, if you're not into literary readings, avoid KGB before 9pm, or just check their website!
