My First Time |
|
Lucas and I played host this weekend. His cousin and her husband were in Des Moines and asked to crash with us. We said of course. Crashing with us also entailed a night out on the town. They have other friends that live in the metro they wanted to meet up with at Gas Lamp in Western Gateway. Surprisingly, I have never been there. I used to run past it twice a week when I lived a mile west on Ingersoll. I was excited to check it out. The bar is pretty cool on the inside - eclectic, vintage-y, dark and chill. A server came over to us immediately, which was good considering there was only about 10 people in there. I asked her for the drink specials only to find out there were none. A Boulevard it was. It wasn't quite 9pm when the band was getting ready to play. A bar employee came over to the group and said we had to pay $5 to stay. What? I have never heard of a bar asking you to pay cover after being there for 30 minutes. We slammed our beers and peaced out. I rarely give a bad review, but that just did not leave a good taste in my mouth. Sorry Gas Lamp.
