OLD FIFTH // A Little Garish

This Fatbrain is basically brainless today, but can still muster up a tad of energy to talk about food.

Old Fifth! More like Old N' Shabby - good one, we know. This place is basically doing nothing right. The High Plains Drifter - not just a Clint Eastwood movie. It's also a whiskey cocktail and a real delight, so I guess they did that one thing right. The 5 in the frothy egg white topper was a little garish though, could have done without that. The service was just fine. The nachos needed more stuff. The TVs, lord Jesus. Those suckers are plastered on every open piece of wall space. Look we get it. It's a sports bar for sporty dudes + women who want to spend time with said dudes, another concept lost on us. We think the real concept here is - why not drink a  boatload of whiskey drinks until everything on the menu tastes like an angel sprinkled awesomeness all up on it. The lighting is also a big ol' mess. Ghouly gals like whoa. You know that Seinfeld where, you know, came true that night. The final piece of our Seinfeld life puzzle, in place. But the company - oh the company! Guess it doesn't really matter where you are when you dig the people that your with.

We refuse to dissect the menu... here are some photos.
Eastwood, What's even going on with that old savage these days?
