Thursday night is for “Dirty South Trivia” as someone who has experienced this night, before I will have to say it was by far one of the funniest nights of my life. The vulgar Q & A’s lightened the atmosphere and made the night one to remember. Friday/Saturday night they offer a fresh rotation of Dj’s playing all requests from the house and people. Their core offering comes on Saturdays and Sundays as they offer a brunch special which include, Bottomless Bloody Mary’s, Mimosas, and Screwdrivers.
