Perhaps we'll never know how much Neil Diamond's career was lengthened by his appearance in Saving Silverman, but it was one of many factors of late that gave the 70-year-old's career some legs. The incessant Red Sox nation adopting Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" as an anthem certainly didn't hurt...

Folks looking longingly at their $1 PBR tallboys is a recurring theme of the night at Flaunt Thursdays. The endless stream of skinny jeans and dresses lead you to a dance floor where 20-something bodies are grinding, shaking, and gyrating. People are dancing on the couch cushions. It gets as...

History shows that hippies have been known to be antiestablishment, and establishments have been known to be antihippie. This has been the nature of things dating back to the days when the signs said "long-haired hippie people need not apply." But today -- when psychedelic drugs are being...

Those who hunger for the ecstasy of movement (these people exist) know that if you're a true hip-shaker, all you need is ground. A true dancer or drunk doesn't even need music, but if there is ground and music, there is no stopping him (or her) from kicking, stomping, and twisting.
It's...

Because of its constantly rotating selection of microbrews (the most mainstream beers available are Pabst, Yuengling, and Guinness), this is a good place to try some unfamiliar brands. Although they do allow you to sample the beers by the shot or the cup, there's nothing like a full pint to...

The Jib goes for a decidedly nautical theme, a theme that is then filtered through Jimmy Buffett's margarita. From the dock-like seating area (pylons and all) by the entrance and the tiki hut with the oceanview mural to the wall of tropical fish tanks and ceiling strewn with nautical flags, the...
