Hitchcook-tober at the Tower Theater

2508 Land Park Drive
Sacramento, CA 95818

Oh, this one hurt a little. Again, since it was after a large Thursday shindig sometimes a little steam is lost. The Tower Theater was showing Dial M for Murder in 3D for Halloween. It was our smallest attendance yet of only a Robot GoBen and a Jarla. But it still counts!!

It was a dark day but our streak continues!

Famous Musician Halloween Party

Undisclosed Roseville Location

If there is one thing (after drinking) we do well, it's costumes. Give us a theme and we will rock it. The Jenny & Naked Bob have been hosting Halloween for as long as I can remember...which means for about 10 years or so. Always themed and always awesome.

This year, famous musicians. This is a small sampling.

Halloween punch in the making. It's lethal.

Jalisco Mexican

9290 Sierra College Blvd #100
Roseville, CA 95661
(916) 788-1737

On the eve of a big shindig, we usually do something low key and cheap. Since the annual Halloween party was coming up on Saturday, we went with walk-up-and-order Mexican food. Jalisco is a local chain with solid options, good salsa and chips.

Nothing fancy, nothing to write home about but damn it hits the spot.

Block Butcher Bar

1050 20th St, Ste 100
Sacramento, CA 95811
(916) 476-6306

We've been wanting to hit up Block for an official Thursday since they opened, but the place is cozy small with mostly large booth that you can cram about 6 people into if your friends don't have cooties, and only one large community table. Since they don't take reservations, it was always a tough one for us.

Enter Twitter. One tweet with a side of friendliness with one of the owners and Thursday Drunks had the large table reserved for us! Wow, did we feel fancy! We crammed 12 drunks into our special table for some really amazing cocktails. Guy on a Buffalo and the Hemingway were the big winners that night.

The laundry list of dried and cured meats is incredible and may I suggest ordering anything you haven't heard of before. It works out well when we do it. Also, priority on what they make or cure in house. It's a real treat to have some great talent like this in Sacramento. It's also cool to see the giant butcher block, whole pigs and heads in the back. They aren't fucking around!

For the not meat-at-heart, their cheese selection is good, their sandwiches are delicious and their salads are top-notch. Overall, check this place out. It's perfect for sharing, a small bite or full meal. I'm working my way through their menu. A delicious job.

Boneshaker Community Brewery

4810 Granite Drive #A-1
Rocklin, CA 95677
(916) 672-6292

Boneshaker in Rocklin has always been a favorite but small enough that it's tough to go on a Thursday if it's not nice enough to use their patio space. So, we were pleased to see a second location with a bit more room! Larger menu, more space and a rustic, comfy feel to the place.

Alas, I wasn't there because I was gallivanting in Nashville and having a mind blowing evening at Husk. Hence the photos below.

Uncle Vito's Pizza

1501 16th Street
Sacramento, CA 95814
(916) 444-3699

We always seem to hit Uncle Vito's this time of year when we start to get a little too busy and a little too poor. It's such a great reliable spot for cheap and easy Thursday. Usually enough space to accommodate us and ordering at the bar for food keeps it simple for drop in/drop out drunks. Also, you can't beat $8 for a giant slice of pizza and a beer.
