Pub Crawl: Journeys Part 2, late night Monday night
Stopped back into Journeys last night for a late-night beer or two after putting Jr. V to bed. I probably didn’t get up there until about 8:30 or so. I wasn’t expecting many people in the place - although there were a few. Shannon had my corner barstool, owner’s privilege and all, so I holed up in the other corner and skimmed a magazine while downing a beer. Bot the bartender, Patrick and Bob remembered me by name from Friday afternoon, which is impressive considering how many people must have been through there over the weekend, and you know my retiring nature and all.
I did not “out” myself as the Villager, since I’m OK with just being a regular guy while out and about.
There are now several travel guidebooks distributed around the place, I stoked my annual island fever by leafing through the Maui guide, and lamenting the fact that now that Jr. V is in school, we have to take vacations in the summer, along with everyone else. Typically, our favorite Maui season is right about now.
Bob and I traded golf course stories for a while, after I moved over to the bar and fell into conversation and storytelling with the other folks. The late-night Monday vibe at Journeys is right up my alley. If you haven’t stopped in for a beer or wine (or port, yay!) yet, you certainly should pop in for a quickie when you get the chance. It’ll be interesting to see how this place evolves.

It seems to be only a cheese plate or olives and bread…? I got thai food next door and ate it at the bar. Bob provided plates and cutlery and a glass of iced water to extinguish the curry flames in my mouth. Can’t ask for more than that.

Yes, they don’t have a “cooking kitchen” in there. So it’s going to be cold plates and such as I understand it. Desserts will come in by May, so I hear. Fine with me - there’s plenty of places to eat in the Village, and a little bread-and-oil go well with a glass or two of wine. So far, though I’ve stuck to the beer. Bob! You should totally get a soft pretzel partnership going with Otto and Anita’s!
