Drake’s Florence – Saturday, March 3rd
My birthday! The evening started out at a friend’s house.
They fixed me dinner (bless their hearts) consisting of steaks, fried potatoes,
and a vegetable medley, plus a few mixed drinks. We had MMA on in the
background. I was prepared for a relaxing evening, but the topic of dancing
came up amongst the ladies in the room, mainly about how they hadn’t been out
for a while, and we ultimately decided to go to Drake’s in Florence, KY, on Houston Road.
Drake’s is another one of those strip mall bar and
restaurants. I don’t say that as a negative, it just doesn’t look fancy from
the outside. Apparently, they have multiple locations regionally, throughout
Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and Alabama. The most interesting thing about the
place is that they serve typical bar food, like burgers and sandwiches, but
they also offer a fairly extensive selection of fresh sushi. I didn’t get to
try anything this time, but I would go back. I would definitely like to try the
Elderflower Mule if I return.
We arrived around 10, and things were slow, so we sat and
talked over drinks for a while (I selected the Taft’s Cherrywood Amber again).
We were beginning to wonder if we picked the right place, but around 11, a DJ finally
got things going. He played a lot of the typical pop-rap songs, like Drop it
Like It’s Hot and Back That Azz Up. A lot of people were on and off the dance
floor. We had a good time! Props to my man for picking us up when we were ready
to go home.
