Here's where we finally got a chance to break out the 40/40 commemorative dart set. And what a place to play!! What with getting carded and a drunk guy we thought we left at Conti's who wanted to fight something, there was hardly time to catch our breath on this stop of our whirlwind tour.
But once the fighter and his trainer left through the back door, we broke out the darts and soaked up the suds. Most of the clientele seemed to be involved in T.V. We didn't ask the bartender who Mel was and whether diplomacy important in his work at the Stateroom.
A good place to end the evening after a brisk walk from Conti's.
