Tara's

I went to this bar the other night and I was amazed by how cheap everything was. It was Wednesday night and the place was packed because the drinks were half-priced. My friends and I bought two bacon cheeseburgers, a dozen chicken wings, three shots of chartreuse, and a pitcher of beer. Guess how much it all cost.. $16. How wild is that? A bacon cheeseburger costs only $1.50 and the wings are 25 cents each. It's remarkable how cheap the food is at this place. They definitely make up for it with the alcohol they sell. This place was packed on a Wednesday night, and for good reason. We walked by another bar down the street named The Riff, and the place was completely empty. It reminded me of the bar from The Shining. But Tara's was doing phenomenally well. The half priced drinks and cheap food definitely didn't hurt their business.

21st Birthday

Last night (at the stroke of midnight) was my friends 21st birthday. So what did we do? We went to the local bar and bought her an assortment of shots. We got her shots of everything from Wild Turkey 101 to vodka cranberry. Needless to say, she was really wasted by the end of the night. She was standing on chairs in the bar and just making a scene. It's okay though because you only turn 21 once. She even went to her 10 o'clock class this morning. Now that is devotion to your school work! It's a tradition of ours to take all of our friends to Tara's in Port Jefferson on their 21st birthday. And they don't pay for a single drink. We all just drop a mint on the birthday boy/girl. Last year, we brought one of our other friends to Tara's on his 21st birthday and by the end of the night we got him so drunk that we had to wheel him home in a shopping cart. It was hilarious. It got to the point where he forgot how to speak English (German is his first language).
