I hadn't heard of this place and, after checking out the website (www.whiskeygulchcoffee.com) we saw that they only served coffee along with a great looking menu - I guess our usual Friday Happy Hour could wait another week. When we got there we found that they'd just opened a bar - last night was their opening night - and now sell locally sourced wine, beer, vodkas, etc. and it looks like it would be a great place to hang out in the summer, as they have an outdoor patio with tables overlooking the bay.
We had a hilarious time, probably annoying everyone else in the place because we couldn't stop laughing, I think the topics discussed were: parents knowing that the teenagers they'd left alone for a night had had friends over as the house was TOO clean when they came home; oldest son who missed the school bus and ran the bus route home even though there was a shorter way back to the house; pushing your glasses back up on your nose when you've leaned (lent?) forward ... even though you're wearing contact lenses; four year old daughter asking "... do Mommies lie?". Okay, so not so funny sounding when it's written down but I'm sure the glasses of wine helped - don't they always?
One thing I do miss about living in London is the excellent public transport, especially the Tube. Here, you only get to drink about one glass of wine, because you usually have to drive home. Not that I regularly got drunk or anything when I was in London, but it was always good to know that you could have another drink and not have to worry because you were taking the subway home. Of course, it did mean that half the people who were travelling on the train with you were somewhat the worse for wear, which made things a little interesting.
