Drink with Your Family Day 2010

Happy Drink with Your Family Day to all you drunks and drunks-at-heart! This year we had a very nice showing of the food porn pictures starting off with NakedBob's traditional burrito.

Enjoy and happy holidays!

Zocalo a Taste of Mexico

Zocalo
1801 Capitol Avenue
Sacramento, CA 95811
(916) 441-0303

Here's another place that has taken us years to revisit. We all agree that the food at Zocalo is tasty. The place itself if pretty but it has to be said, sometimes the clientele is...well...douchy. That's where bringing 14 of your closest friends comes in handy. With that many people you don't really have to interact if you don't want to.

The nice surprise was that it wasn't terribly busy and the people were alright. Maybe the douchy folk have moved on. Let's hope.

Back to the food! The trio of salsas never fails us. Whatever they do to the beans, don't tell me cause I don't want to know what makes they so delicious. Most there was a lot of beer, margarita and caipirinha drinking. There was a huge variety of food from ceviche to enchiladas mole.

Four different special guests and the return of Sluggy made for a fabulous evening chair swapping and conversation. Also, we saw our friend from Magpie and well, he bought the drunks a round of tequila. That's some class.

Caipirinha & Chips


The salsa are fabulous, and the jar has a uterus.

I have no idea what this is.

Tequila shots for everyone!

Thank you Ed & Janel

The aftermath

Fanny Ann's Saloon

Fanny Ann's Saloon

1023 2nd Street
Sacramento, CA 95814-3201

I was trying to figure out how long it had been since the Thursday Drunks went to Fanny Ann's and with a quick blog search resulting in nothing, I figured out that we haven't been here for at least 2 1/2 years! Cheesus, how come so long?

Fanny Ann's, located in Old Sacramento, is a narrow, three story cavalcade of cluttery knick-knackery with an old wood bar, stiff drinks and sassy service. It's very much a saloon but also serves up some tasty burgers and fries. The chicken strips were some of the best I've had lately and the chicken wings are the whole damn chicken arm with the little wing attached! Delicious, if a bit creep when all the little wings are pointing at you from the basket.

Drinks are affordable and strong! Only bummer is that you really have to go to the second or third level to find seating, but have to hoof it back down for your drinks and food. There is a bar on the top floor but I've never seen it open. Oh and there is a basement as well that usually serves up karaoke...also why we love the top floor.

The first time we came here we put our newly made Thursday Drunks coaster, circa 2005 on the wall and it's still there - displayed proudly!

This night we rocked with 6 sometimes drunks showing up to spice up the mix! It was a fun crowd and with some musical chairs we worked in some great conversations. We also had some tech support going with an old laptop that needed some help from our more computer savvy members. We are a full service drinking club.

Thai Smile at Nairb's House

Thai Smile Food

We invited ourselves to Nairb's house, pooled our money and ordered some damn fine Thai takeout.

Unfortunately the only thing that survived the night was this quote and disturbing picture. Don't say I didn't warn you.
