Might have tried this place, but since I am over 45, I guess I will have to find something else
For the record  NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER    !!!!!!!

Lol, that’s such a weird thing to promote specifically.

Well us Over 45ers (and I’ve been in that category for decades) are in bed by 9, and seldom drink more than one alcoholic beverage per day in any event, so they are just stating the obvious.

Just because a bar targets a certain age group doesn’t mean us older folks aren’t welcome. I went to Fizzy’s last week and was treated like a prince. I thought it was a little funny that the music playing in the background was recorded before everyone in the place was born, ‘cept me.

They have a really creative drink menu, but I stuck to bourbon. Nice bar. Very welcoming staff. Had the happy hour burger——aces.

Do you still order through the phones? I liked that touch.
