MYSTERY PICKS

* A Mystery Pick is a wildcard slot where we pick a new bar, or return to a favorite spot. We just like to wait 'til the last minute to name the place.

Vote Now! - send me your suggestions for a Mystery Pick. Or give me information about any of the bars in the area. - Bo

Some of the possible candidates this year:

Scores Lounge
Backstage Lounge
Sharab Lounge
Gotham Grille
JD Penguin's Night Club

After weeks and weeks of extensive research, endless interviews, intensive analysis, careful scrutinizing, and painful soul-searching, I select my favorite bars to host our Friday Happy Hour. To find out more about the HH Spot, look it up in the Bar List, or call the bar.
