Saturday night, by midnight i had had only one slice of pizza for dinner and headed over to the Hop Devil Grill tequila and beer bar on St Marks place to find Shaun the doorman trying to set up a date with a 'girl'. He called on Will the manager to come listen to my project proposition. He told me to come back tomorrow sunday around 3 pm when it would be less busy.
I came back the following day to find another manager Luis who was open and told me to order what i wanted.
You can find on the menu southwest cuisine like fajitas, tacos, quesadillas and even a holy chicken mole.
Rachel, the bartender, took my order of a chili burger, fries, tortilla chips and salsa. The woman sitting next to me, a visitor from Connecticut was drinking Chipotle beer (from the brewer Rogue) and said it was "good, and smoky."
I asked Rachel for a taste and indeed it was good and smoky.
The old fave Baracuda was playing on the CD player.
The chili burger was huge and messy and very satisfying.
Rachel admitted to keeping a blog at one time. "It's funny what you blog about when you are 15; i was blogging about being depressed.... "
Another customer came in and sat to the left of me. "I'm in here a lot," he said to me.
"What beer are you drinking?" i asked.
"Darkfish, 21% alcohol; you need 2 to get drunk... it's a great beer... it's from Delaware."
I looked up and noticed the organic beer: Wolaver's brown ale.
"I'm really a fan of the burritos. There's a good selection of beer in here," he added. Did guerrilla marketers send you in here ?
"What's your name?" i asked. "James". He then talked about all his favorite eateries in the east village.
Tuesday is taco tuesday 1 $. No bar is worth drinking at without a Happy hour: monday to friday 4 -7. Sunday 1/2 price burger 5 -10.
