Bimbo's 365 Club

We're sitting at Bimbo's 365 Club waiting to see Alejandro Escobar, who Bob tells me is like the Latino Bruce Springsteen and Carrie Rodriguez, a singer-songwriter and fiddle player from Austin, TX.

Bimbo's reminds me of the Copacabana in Goodfellas, but we came in through the front door, not the kitchen. The main room is full of intimate round tables with reserved signs, and here in the lounge we're cozied next to the fire in red naugahide seats and tables with pink cloths. It's quite fabulous and you can read all about the history here.

The bartenders are dressed like Isaac on on the love boat and have martini glasses filled with ice to chill along the bar. I bypassed the martini and opted for a Miller High Life, The Champage of Beers. Should be a good show.
