Nairby had a birthday! We picked a place close to him so the whole family, including baby could make it out with the drunks. We miss our Nairby!

Auburn Thai

175 Palm Ave
Auburn, CA 95603
(530) 887-8696

Our birthday Darla asked for Auburn Thai for her birthday because it's closer to her house and it's delicious! I missed this week which makes me sad but red velvet cake was sent home to this sad blogger so all it right with the world. 

Boneshaker Community Brewery

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

I've missed each time we've gone here but all the Drunks seem to like it! Chalk this up to the lame blogger post.

Things I know: Drunks had fun. Drunks enjoyed delicious food. Drunks imbibed in beer and wine. Drunks laughed, chatted and had some shenanigans.

GATHER Oak Park

Broadway & 3rd Avenue
Oak Park

This blogger fails. This one right here. No pictures? REALLY? What has the world come to.

In my defense, GATHER Oak Park is so much damn fun with all your favorite Sacramento people that it's hard to remember to do the social media when you're just having a damn fine time. Sacto Storytellers killed it on stage, all the local beer you could want and the food trucks have been moved around the corner for a bit more space. Overall, it was even better than last year. We got our groove on, our drink on and noshed on some delicious food. What could be better!

High fives to the Unseen Heroes crew for bringing another great event to Sacramento. The next one is on August 13th and don't forget to hit up DISPLAY: California across the street for some great handcrafted gifts.

Next time, more photos. Promise

This lame blogger missed Persian food. Boo. I LOVE Persian food! Well, all I can report is that the drunks love this place and the leftovers were tasty.

Brian's Birthday at La Trattoria

3649 J Street
Sacramento, CA 95816
(916) 455-7803

Brian is such a smart guy. For his birthday he took us to La Trattoria, a new one for the drunks. Even though I wasn't there, I know it was delicious because I got some leftovers. Hearty, flavorful Czech food that is perfect for a cold day.

And as is tradition, we bought amazing toys for Brian to donate to Toys for Tots but made him open them anyway.

Iron Grill Korean BBQ

2030 Douglas Boulevard
Roseville, CA 95661
(916) 899-5448

We've never done a Korean BBQ place for a Thursday so this was a fun one! If you order the all-you-can-eat grill, you sit by an open grill and they bring you the huge assortment of pickled veggies and then piles of seasoned meats. They are surprisingly flavorful and much more tasty than I expected. They have individual items as well, but it's an all-or-nothing system so your whole party has to either do the do-it-yourself grill or you sit at a regular table and order your own dishes.

Full disclosure that I wasn't there (again) but I did just eat there for the first time last week.

Meanwhile, I was in Kauai.

Monk's Cellar

240 Vernon Street
Roseville, CA 95678
(916) 786-6665

All the Roseville drunks have been waiting patiently for the Monk's Cellar to open. Right on Vernon Street close to Nela's Mexican, it's a great little addition. It's also the closest bar in walking distance to The Jenny & Naked Bob, so you know...that doesn't suck.

Again, I wasn't there so I can't speak much more about it other than everyone loves it. I'll need to hit it up soon to make peace with my drinky soul.

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.

Nashville

Alonzo's Pizza Depot

7054 Sunrise Blvd
Citrus Heights, CA 95610
(916) 723-1288

Happy birthday to our very own Coach!! He choose the delicious Alonzo's in Citrus Heights for everyone's deep dish and train-themed needs. This place is a gem in it's little strip mall, but alas, this Thursday had some sober problems. They recently changed ownership so their liquor license has been suspended until that is all worked out. Boo. This isn't Thursday Sobers!

But other than that, who can complain about a night out with some recycled birthday cards and tons of pizza.

The photo below is from the Grange where two drunks met to drown their sorrows as we sad goodbye to sometimes drunks Amy & Dennis. May they find booze on all Thursdays in Montana!

Tapa the World

Sacramento, CA 95816
(916) 442-4353

We haven't been here for an official Thursday Drunks in years!! Sangria by the pitcher, tasty morsels while you are packed into a small table - what's not to love?

You probably guessed that this blogger wasn't in attendance. I was battling Barry the Bastard, my favorite kidney stone nemesis. Blogger is ashamed...

Boxing Donkey

300 Lincoln St, Roseville, CA
(916) 797-3665

BUMP IS OLD!!! Bumpy Truck had a birthday and we went to Boxing Donkey for some post-Christmas grub and booze. We took over most of the main area with a really good showing of Drunks! Their was a blow up reindeer that deflated and tried to trap us cause that happens.

Between the Guinness and the gin & tonics - we were happy drunks. We missed happy hour but then found out they serve tater tots now! Oh, yeah, that's right. Grilled sandwiches, burgers AND tater tots? Holy fried-potatoes Batman.

Thursday Night Football

Undisclosed Roseville Location

We crashed a Roseville house and had BBQ take out (that was amazing!) and watched some football. Okay, let's be honest, we played Cards Against Humanity while we listened to football.

Also what goes with barbecue and football? Champagne bar. Totally.

Emily & Darla's Cocktail Night

Undisclosed Rocklin Location

Emily & Darla took a bartending class with the guys from Shady Lady during Midtown Cocktail Week. They acquired some bad skills and decided to treat us to some tipples on Halloween night. Costumes abounded, drinks were had and mad respect was earned for some top-shelf cocktails.

French Dip Night with the Doctors

Undisclosed Elk Grove Location

The Doctors can host a Thursday! Who makes French Dip sandwiches from scratch? No pictures were taken because we wolfed them down without breathing. Delicious!

Boxing Donkey

Roseville, CA 95678
(916) 797-3665

Did this night even happen? I don't know but this is what it says in the calendar and we never miss a Thursday so it must have happened.

Here is what I assumed happened:
We took over the corner table
Guinness was had
Irish egg rolls were eaten
The Journal was written in
Servers were hassled
Bartenders were tipped
Conversation was loud
Penises were drawn

Typical Thursday.

We had a great showing of Thursday Drunks and a load of sometimes drunks (even from Spain!) this week! Sausages were eaten, beer was swilled, talking was loud.

Fat's Asian Bistro

1500 Eureka Rd
Roseville, CA 95661
(916) 787-3287

The Double Dragon is a giant bowl of booze with straws and flowers. We love it. Fat's always comes through with some delicious dishes like their orange chicken, garlic green beans and almost everything else on their menu.

Alas, I was working that night and have no other details or photos.

Hot Italian

1627 16th St
Sacramento, CA 95814
(916) 444-3000

A large group is always fun at Hot Italian with you can get the big round table. They have a huge selection of pizzas, Peroni by the pitcher and tasty house prosecco and wine that makes for a fun evening.

They even have a non-dairy cheese for our lactose intolerant drunk.

Eva's/Nela's Mexican Restaurant

242 Vernon St
Roseville, CA 95678
(916) 783-9992

We still can't seem to call this place Nela's since they changed their name from Eva's. Old fashioned affordable, piping hot and delicious Mexican food. The crispy shredded beef taco is the best thing ever. Deep fried and amazing.

Also, the squeezy bottle of hot sauce is the best thing ever. Amazing on their ranch salad as well.
