But watch out ladies, they very well might try to get into your knickers. Guys do that, so watch out for the smooth talkers. Also, this is the type of place you go to and grab a dinner and/or drinks. Its not the kind of place you go to for dancing or to hear music generally speaking. They do have music playing, but it is largely in the background so you can still readily converse with those you came with or with the person you just met at the bar. <p><a href="http://www.barsmart.com/viewtopic.cfm?fp=7560CD40-D549-E67E-FBA3E67E6C61331A">Read more of this post</a> at Barsmart</a></p></p> Wed, 16 May 2012 10:04:07 EDT http://www.barsmart.com/viewtopic.cfm?fp=26EBB582-C1FE-092F-53DC44B082DFDE7E http://www.barsmart.com/viewtopic.cfm?fp=26EBB582-C1FE-092F-53DC44B082DFDE7E <p>That's good to hear. I want to really like this place too, but the service has always been the problem. It's a great place to watch a game, and the food is very good, for bar food.<p><a href="http://www.barsmart.com/viewtopic.cfm?fp=26EBB582-C1FE-092F-53DC44B082DFDE7E">Read more of this post</a> at Barsmart</a></p></p> Sat, 05 May 2012 10:53:43 EDT http://www.barsmart.com/viewtopic.cfm?fp=D8199BFF-9C6A-3BD1-81E6C4566050C3E4 http://www.barsmart.com/viewtopic.cfm?fp=D8199BFF-9C6A-3BD1-81E6C4566050C3E4 <p>Good grief, I was just being sarcastic to the previous guy putting down older people.

Yea Irish, I just commented last week on how things seemed to have slowed down on the forums here and how my column hasn't seen any new questions in months. Granted the Forums is far from the main focus of BarSmart, but we have had a lot of fun with the stories, comments, conversations, and DJ Wars over the years. I hops we can renew some of that soon..<p><a href="http://www.barsmart.com/viewtopic.cfm?fp=C6A6A2E5-D642-60E7-296F97F1A0E27695">Read more of this post</a> at Barsmart</a></p></p> Mon, 23 Apr 2012 03:25:16 EDT http://www.barsmart.com/viewtopic.cfm?fp=36358C6B-E3D9-366F-60ACE9C716089162 http://www.barsmart.com/viewtopic.cfm?fp=36358C6B-E3D9-366F-60ACE9C716089162 <p>Thank you for posting this. I have done the post for this the last two years and got too busy this year. But everyone come on out and join in the fun, the last 2 years i have had a blast as the Dj at the vasta and geting to meet new people. So come on out and support the local bars and more importantly the Dormont pool.
