Whiskey Tango

Hey all,

So this blog is a continuation of my birthday last weekend.  The night before my birthday we were at Geronimo's Bar and Grill.  We did a 5K bacon run on the morning of my birthday and we had sushi at night.  After dinner, I had about 40-50 people meet me up at "Whiskey Tango" in downtown Hollywood, FL.  This is a cool spot located near some other places I have previously blogged about(The Tipsy Boar, The Greek Joint, Mickey Byrne's) and I knew I could have a lot of people fit here due to the size of the location.

We all met up around 10:00 PM at Whiskey Tango and that's when all the drinks and shots started.  If I told you how many drinks and shots I had, I would not be telling the truth.  They do have a separate cooler in the back that reads "craft bottled beer".  I do remember ordering a "Breckenridge Vanilla Porter" from the craft bottled selection.  I have had vanilla porters before but not by this maker.  I really enjoyed this beer as it was a darker beer with a hint of a vanilla aftertaste.  This might have been the only drink I remember the taste.  It went downhill after that.

They had a live band, and they usually do on the weekends and some weekdays.  I did see their menu, and I know Whiskey Tango has really great food options, however we came there right after dinner.  I have heard that their burgers are out of this world and their appetizer choices are really unique.  The only thing that I did not like was the prices for the craft bottled beer.  It was $8 for the one 12oz. bottled beer that I got.  That is pricey compared to other bars in the area that I had been to.  They did have domestic bottled beer specials in a bucket, however I am spoiled and prefer crafts nowadays.  

I loved the experience while I was there and I know I will be back when I'm in downtown Hollywood, FL.  I just might have to watch the amount of drinks I have there due to the high prices.

Geronimo's Bar & Grill

Hey all,

So this past weekend was a very special weekend for me, my birthday!  I went out to dinner the night before my birthday with my family and then after I went out with some friends to "Geronimo's Bar & Grill".  It is a local favorite in Davie, FL.  I have been there before but mostly late at night.  We went there to grab a drink or 2 and our group quickly grew to about 10 of us.

Since my last time there, I heard they have increased their number of craft beers on tap.  That rumor is what brought me back there and I wanted to see what they had to offer.  The prices are average at Geronimo's, but they are really good during happy hour.  The craft beers on tap range from $6 to $9, but they had a wide range.  They didn't really have much stout beers on tap, which are my favorite.  (See introduction)  I ended up going with Miami Brewing Co's Big Rod Coconut Ale.  I had it before and it is a top choice of mine.  It's very smooth and it does have a nice coconut after taste.  Also, after midnight, when it became my birthday, a few of us had my favorite shot, baby guiness.

The atmosphere was also pretty cool.  It wasn't too dark and the music was at a decent volume.  They have a couple pool tables in the back and darts games towards the front of the place.  The location of Geronimo's is at an ideal location being near a few colleges.  It's near Nova, Florida Atlantic University Davie Campus, and Broward College Central Campus.  There was a bunch of college students we saw, but there were also a lot of regulars it seemed like.  Since I had dinner before, I did not order food but I heard they have really good wings, burgers, and steaks.
