You're right, she sounded likely, but not a definite.

Yeah, the Uptown location was excellent... we'd flip flop between there and Chino Latino on a given night.

Sweeney's is noted more for beer than wine, so I think you'll be right at home. The atmosphere is casual, homey, friendly and has been there for more than 20 years. The courtyard walls are extremely high to block the sound from infiltrating into the neighborhood. The primarily sandwich based menu has always been extremely good. It'll be a fun place for this type of gathering and there's always plentiful parking. I'll make the 6th of August work for me.

By the way, took a quick trip to Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge this afternoon. Poked my head in (camera too) to see what this unfamiliar place had going for it. Neat tiki style courtyard with palapa umbrellas, a large deck, lots of torches, and lots of eclectic seating areas... not to mention two separate indoor lounges. Couple things on the appetizer menu caught my eye; Barracuda Wings made with secret tequila/beer sauce and Backfire Dip made of spicy artichoke and jalapeno dip and served with tortilla chips. They didn't make a mojito or caipirinha but had a good selection of wine by the glass and a broader selection of beer. Putting it on my list for one of those courtyard nights away from home.

Anyway, August 6th at Sweeneys sounds like fun...

Technically it's not too late to change venues, that does sound good.

Hmm...I think we should just keep this location - just in case a few that said "yes" don't check this thread before then.
