I hate to do it, but I gotta knock this place down a star. First of all, after my last review, they increased the price of local beer and now the only local beer is Abita Amber. I don't drink Abita, so I had a Corona and then switched off to red wine. Admittedly, I don't drink like I used to, so the wine was fine. I'm bummed that they got rid of Canebrake and a few other local beers but I guess they weren't selling. The venue is now non smoking which is a huge plus. I loved that there were plenty of places to sit tonight. I'm not here as often as I used to be, but it's still a decent place to see a band.

Last week, a friend of mine asked if I wanted to come on Friday night, September 29, to see a friend of her's band, Phunky Monkey. I said yes when she asked, and the day of, I was considering backing out. Working 9 hours, then waiting 4 hours after I got off work to meet up, make the trek to the Boomtown Casino (a good 30-45 minutes away) and what I imagined to be a smoky, people filled building drinking was not what I consider to be a great time on any day of the week. Well, let me tell you, I had no right to make those assumptions. Yes, you have to enter the building that houses the casino, but this is tucked off to one side, about the size of a high school gym, and not even halfway filled. I bought the first round of drinks for her, her husband and myself for $15, which is a great price in my opinion. There was no cover charge. Some of her other friends showed up, and we were in for a great time. The band was energetic, and had about 8 players with instruments ranging from keyboards, to guitars, to brass instruments and drums. The songs ranged from current hits to songs from 20 years ago. My favorite was their final song, where they covered Beastie Boys Funky Monkey. They did a cover of Guns-N-Roses and many other bands. A-freaking-mazing. I had a great time. We got there about 9pm, and before I knew it, they had played their last song and were breaking down the stage at 1am. I even had a sighting of another YELP-er that I had not seen in quite some time, and it was nice to see her.The restrooms are across the hall. There are several food places nearby. The parking lot is HUGE. Ginormous. All in all, I am glad I came, and I had a great time. Seriously much better than what I expected, and I am happy for that.
