I actually got out Saturday night with a friend of mine for all of two hours! We went to Benders Tavern and then over to Cricket on the Hill to catch an hour of Denver Joe. What a riot! Nothing like a drunk cussin' cowboy singin the classics to make your night.
But anyway.....did ya all know that Benders has a "tiki patio"? Well, thats what they call it. They even have a sign that says just that, Tiki Patio. I never knew it was there as the hallway to it is past the bathrooms and outside. Its not much....nice patio, few umbrellas, a grass awning over a door that leads to a bartender (?) There wasn't a bartender there. the door was closed. There were people on the patio but no bartender or waitress. I'm trying to reach Tyson of the railbenders to see what the plan is. Hopefully a retro guy like him will kick it up a bit and make it something worthy of the bar and stage that Benders is known for.
