Jamie's Bar & Grill & Birth of Coach

427 Broadway
Sacramento, CA 95818

For the full story on Jamie's read the post from last January! There are so very many reasons why we like this place and that will explain a lot of them.

This time we were here celebrating Coach's birthday. He needed some good old fashion delicious food so this was perfect. The drinks are stiff and when one of the more manly members of the Thursday Drunks commented on it the sassy bartendress looked over her shoulder while walking away and yelled "Put your big boy pants on!" How can you not love it!

We were seated in the back room again and enjoyed an evening of perfectly cooked meaty dishes, fries and french onion soup. This is such a comforting and comfortable place - what's not to love. And always look at the specials board!

de Vere's Irish Pub

1531 L Street
Sacramento, CA 95814
(916) 231-9947

We sent a contingent of Thursday Drunks to the desert this week to find themselves so we ended up with a cozy group of 7. De Vere's is a cozy pub for a stormy night with properly pulled pints and good pub food. Their happy hour (if you can get there before 6:30) is pretty decent.

The fish & chips are very tasty and more flavorful than you would expect. The shepards pie is great and you can get it with an egg on top! Mac n' cheese, crisps, fish tacos, they were all good!

My favorite drink was the wee ginger, Jameson's and ginger ale - yum. And who doesn't want to order a wee ginger!

Thai Invasion

Undisclosed Fair Oaks location

After the hustle and bustle of the holidays a house hosted Thursday was just what we needed. We enjoyed the hospitality of Jarla & Mr. Chem in their lovely house with their mini horse Otto. Well, he's really a giant blue great dane.

Takieng Thai delivered up all of our Thai favorites and we settled in for a night of drinks, chatting and playing with the pup. It's amazing how fast the nights goes when you have that kind of combination.

Oh Thursday Drunks, you are my people.

Boxing Donkey

300 Lincoln Street
Roseville, CA 95678
(916) 797-3665

Usually we hit up the Donkey before Christmas but time just flew by and we finally got here! With a happy hour that goes until 8pm and some surprisingly tasty food, this is a favorite and let's us imbibe closer to our Roseville constituents.

Now, I would report on all the shenanigans and inappropriate conversation but alas, I missed it all. Bad drunk. Bad blogger. Bad Scribby.
