Friday – January 29, 2009 – 3rd Annual Snow Ball @ Drinky’s
I guess it’s fitting that as I write this fresh snow is falling from the sky. If that snow continues until Friday night it will be even more appropriate. This Friday night is the 3rd Annual Snow Ball at Drinky’s in Easton. I stumbled upon this event on Facebook and after reading the event page for it, I’m left feeling a bit underwhelmed. $4 Red Bull & vodkas and $.99 Miller Lites? Decent specials, but nothing winter or snow themed? How about 1/2 price Sam Adams Winter Lagers? Or $4 dollar Winter Wonderland martinis? DJ Dangerous Dan and Scotty Brilliant will be handling the entertainment for the night, but the event page doesn’t mention anything else related to the Snow Ball theme.
I’m not trying to talk smack on this party, but if you’re going to throw a themed party go all out with it! But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe there will be more winter themed stuff happening inside that they decided not to mention on the Facebook invite. Anyone been to one of the themed events at Drinky’s before? What can someone expect who is attending the Snow Ball tomorrow night?
Don’t be fooled. Its the same lame DJ’s and same lame drink specials they have there every Friday, except this week they have a catchy name and flyer…Years ago they used to have theme partys that turned out pretty well. But it seems like they gave up or got lazy there. They don’t change anything up.
That’s kind of what I figured. I’m not sure why you’d go through the effort of making a cool flyer and everything if you’re not gonna go all the way. A winter party at a bar could be a really cool event. It’s too bad their only going through the motions tonight.
What Drinky’s like on a regular basis? Is it worth checking out on a non-themed night?
Its usually a full crowd of Easton and Phillipsburg people. Oddly, you’ll never see Lafayette kids there at all even though its right down the hill. Not sure if that says something about the place. If you never been there before I guess its worth a shot to check it out but you probably won’t be wow’d.
