Stan’s Blue Note is right around the corner from my friend’s house … so needless to say, I’m there a lot. Stan’s is so much fun because, as often as I’m there, I still run into new people and new flamboyant characters and no night there is ever the same. If you are a usual here, you know that the management has changed. The jury’s still out on how that will change the place, but I know the former owner’s presence is missed.
Drinks aren’t too expensive and they are pretty strong and can inspire a pretty damn good night. I can say with confidence that some of the best nights I’ve had lately have been here. (You have to watch out for the flying eggs, though. One night I got smacked in the face with an egg a motorcyclist threw while driving by … SO not cool. My valiant friends tried to chase him but didn’t have any luck.)
The food at Stan’s is surprisingly good – try the chicken fried steak with jalepeno gravy or the buffalo chicken sandwich (not on the menu but you MUST try it!). Portions are HUGE – consider sharing with a friend.
High NOTES (bad pun, I know): varied clientele, good location, shuffleboard and Big Buck Hunter!, Tuesday nights
Low notes: not-so-nice bathrooms
Drink strength: 4
Overall: 2.5
