So this week, we decided to do something a liiiiiittle different. We decided to take it over the bridge to Fort Walton Beach to The Block. The Block is 3 clubs in 1: Karaoke/Sports Block, Cell Block, and Country Block.
Though we never made it over to the Karaoke/Sports Block, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves while attempting to line dance, ride the bull, and pretending that we were in a rap video.
Here is what else we had to say...
Most of us thought that the lighting, music and atmosphere was super fun, honky tonky, and rap-aliscious. However we aren't used to establishments where smoking is still allowed inside, so that caught us a little off guard. We may or may not have emphysema now.
It was ladies night, and they were offering $2 well and drafts from 9-11, and $6 VooDoo Bucket concoctions all night. We all agreed the bucket drink was just a bucket of sugar. They may have hit us later, but we don't know whether it was the bucket, or the all of the $2 drinks we tried to consume before 11. Either way, we'll have another!
This week, we added a specific answer regarding food... and since there wasn't any grub at The Block, the food was unanimously critiqued: FOOD? Who wants food when there is alcohol to drink?!?
Regarding Fare: The ladies' night prices were great for us and our pocketbooks! We didn't even have to ask boys to buy us drinks!
We had a couple of different bartenders. One was a girl, so we can't say too much about her, but we actually had a male tender for once! Some of us are single, some of us are not, but a majority decided NEXT!
Again, we were the prettiest people in the place, and definitely stood out in our country garb. Hey now! who doesn't love a costume and props?
We thought the bartenders were great and hardly ever had an empty drink! They were the kind of bartenders you want to work with and/or poke on facebook!
There wasn't really a view from The Block, but the view inside was pretty interesting. The rap video block was full of smoke and stripper poles, the honky tonk looked like a barn, and we couldn't really tell you what the Karaoke block looked like, but all we knew is that we wanted a picture in front of that bull!!
Here's proof:
The ladies' room was comparable to most bar restrooms. The lighting was poor, toilet paper had to be passed from stall to stall, everything was wet, and it was a little stinky. But hey dudes, we'll hide out in here until the metallic shirt cowboy goes away...
The parking was adequate because most of us got there early for drink specials. The stragglers complained about walking and valet.
Snobs.

Overall, it was definitely a different experience than our usual routine, but certainly one of the most fun night's we've had together as the CCC. Once we have a few group line dancing, and stripper pole lessons, we'll definitely be back!
Forgot how we critique? Ger refreshed here.
See y'all this weekend at the LA Lounge, and Hurricane Lanes from 11-2 for $10 all you can bowl!
Feel free to challenge us, but be warned that you will lose.
