Bacon Martini Tryouts! Double Down Saloon...

We have an informal gathering each month called "The Happy Hour Gang" just a few of us that like to hang out together. This month's hour was at the infamous Double Down Saloon and it was hilarious. First of all do not go here expecting fancy decor, but do go there for good drinks and friendly service. Two of the drinks are notorious...the BACON MARTINI and ASS JUICE. The Ass Juice was fine actually a little fruity...but the Bacon Martini, well that is an acquired taste! YIKES a very acquired taste! Everyone had to take a sip and as you can see various reactions!! Try it out sometime...Oh an by the way when we first arrived at the DDS there were various biker type rockers etc...but I think we kinda freaked them out and we ended up being the loud, raunchy group!

Live music. Pool. Pinball. Asteroids. Hot chicks. Bums, punks, hipsters, bohemians, rockabilly greasers and regular joes. Touring bands and Hollywood types kicking back away from the tourists. Always expect the unexpected.
