From 5:05 until 6:30 this evening I and a number of my
fellow-travelers enjoyed food, music and drinks courtesy of Club Bacchus
and BankCorpSouth at one of Operation New Birmingham’s famous 5:05 meet
and mingles.
The
club is sparkling, and the dance floor on the second level took me back
to my dancing days, complete with disco ball. I finished up the
evening, sipping, and chatting at a window table occasionally gazing out
the window at 11th street’s lights twinkling below and Vulcan shining just beyond on the mountain.
Listening
to the singer on the bandstand, playing his acoustic guitar play to an
inattentive audience, gave me pause. I’m accustomed to people paying
attention to me – good or bad, but never ignored. I stopped
mid-sentence and started a round of applause as he finished his last
song.
I
like this place. They allow smoking on the second floor which opens
late for dancing, my smokin’ (literally & figuratively) brother will
love that, but no smoking in the pub on the first level.
Check Club Bacchus out if you get a chance. I know I’ll be back.
