And the night I escaped from a date at the Mayflower (in which my date had kissed me, only to depart our table and kiss what I believe was a highly paid call girl at the bar) and dragged a friend to Biddy's with me, where I proceeded to ignore the date's frantic calls and kiss another guy. ;-) Memories.....<BR/>Not to mention those great 8-hour "I'm leaving the country" farewell happy hours.... Hope you had a pint for me, peaches.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-68421784049182831252008-11-03T13:24:00.000-05:002008-11-03T13:24:00.000-05:00FreckledK - I had heard it was closing and sure en...FreckledK - I had heard it was closing and sure enough, when we stopped by Friday, they were counting in hours.<BR/><BR/>Lemmonex - Yah, exactly! I haven't been to either Gazuza or Topaz in years at this point.

Oh unhappy news, indeed...Maybe we will be surprised and it will re-open as a decent pub??

(I even wrote about it too, so sad: http://beachbumatheart.blogspot.com/2008/04/one-more-bites-dust_15.html)<BR/><BR/>I still miss it, it was my regular Friday night hang out, no need to make plans I could just stop by and would bump into people I knew. I knew the owner, the bartenders, the bouncer, the regulars. Heck, I was a regular too!<BR/><BR/>It was closed to give way to a condo, because of course Arlington has so few condos as is (eye roll). It closed in June, and nothing has been done to the site yet, couldn't they have just let it stay open longer???
