Nashville (Day Two...)

So where was I...??? (Oh, yeah... Friday...)

After checking out of the "Club Hotel" we decided to backtrack to the previous day's "to do" list and check out the "Silly Goose" - if only for a drink! (Non-alcoholic! Yep! Swear to God!)

Basil lemonade! That's what I had! And for my Poops... pomegranate pineapple red iced tea! (Yum-yum!)

Freshly hydrated... next stop... our B&B - The Timothy Demonbreu House!

Folks... I leave it to those who are interested to peruse the B&B's website... suffice it to say, "A very Bill-like place to stay."

(*WINK*)

We're even staying in "The Honeymoon Suite" - aka "The Game Room." (We have a friggin' POOL TABLE...!!! And a card table! And a dartboard!) We have a "sleep number King bed," a "huge screen" TV, a couch, a couple recliners, a couple high-back "formal" chairs, a wine cooler, and seven windows giving us three-way views! Very... very... very... nice.

(*NOD*)

Oh... and of course... a heated in-ground pool with diving board and slide as well as an adjoining hot-tub! (Yes, folks... it's GOOD to be Bill!)

After settling in and availing ourselves of the facilities for the next few hours it was time for Happy Hour... or.... to be more specific... Happy HOURS... plural.

(*CHUCKLE*)

First stop: The Germantown Cafe. A couple drinks there and next stop...

Holland House Bar & Refuge! (Just one drink here.. but as I'm posting this in real time, my guess is we'll be dropping in again prior to heading home next week!)

Next stop... The Pharmacy: Burger Palace and Biergarten! (Yes... BIERGARTEN!)

(Had a beer there... and we split a burger; after all... it's called "food and drink" for a reason!)

Next stop...

(*GUFFAW*)

...the Fleet Street Pub!

(*TWO THUMBS UP*)

As the name infers, a "British" pub. Fuller's ESB on tap... (which of course is what yours truly drank..). Great music - an eclectic selection featuring '80's "Punk" - as well as a menu (and reputation for outrageously good "pub grub") - that will no doubt bring us back there for another visit!

So... now... finally... it's time for dinner! So... it's off to Margot Cafe and Bar!

(Yes... I know... some wonder "How does he do it...?!?!" Answer: Sheer guts and determination! That... and a cast-iron stomach... and the "tolerance" of Rasputin!)

The place... the ambiance... warm, inviting, and romantic.

(*NOD*)

The food? Good... but except for dessert... didn't blow my socks off. (At least not in the way the food at their sister establishment - Marche Artisan Foods - had. Still... well worth the money... no "complaints"... a very professional staff... I certainly don't regret the visit. (I think part of the problem - for me - is that while we'd been looking at a sample menu online, in reality they change the menu nightly. Now of course this can be a wonderful practice, but last night's particular menu... nothing really "spoke" to me, so I ended up having a steak - which, while good, wasn't what I'd  come to Margot for.)

Anyway... after coffee, dessert, and (for me) grappa... it was back to the B&B for some simply relaxation... a bit of TV... and BED.
