The review of Old Peculiar is here.

The music is getting closer? - The experience from 2/17/05

I was hungry, so we headed out in the frigid weather to the The Yankee Diner. Ah, the Yankee diner. A club sandwich for me, and meatloaf for my partner in crime and off to the Old Peculiar.

We walk in there and like second nature, the pitcher of Strongbow is ordered, the darts are setup and we're a'drinking' and a'throwin'.

The Strongbow was icey cold, just the way to serve it. We played darts where I perfectly won a round of 301, then lost 2 rounds of cricket, but not by too much.

Now, it gets interesting. After rounds of AC/DC and Van Halen and various assorted rock tunes, I hear a bag pipe. Hmm, never heard that come out of a juke box. I throw a dart. Hmm, that's getting louder. A look of puzzlement strikes my face and I stop throwing and stop drinking...what? The music gets closer and louder and next thing I know a bag piper in full out garb is marching around the place playing the bag pipe and I'll be damned, I've never seen anything as random as that! I mean, I was like, what's next, leprachans? Migits? A horse? Someone looking for their lucky charms?

So, yeah that was fun. One thing I want to know is, was he wearing the kilt in traditional form? I mean, God forbid he had to bend over and...HELLO NEIGHBOR! Uhhh, well, this IS Seattle. I did get more info on the Old Peculiar Happy Hour, which I will post within 24 hours in the review.

Thanks for reading, and happy day to all.
