Yes, I was the only black lady but felt comfortable. Good music knows no color. Just good vibes. We loved it! Definitely a mature crowd, probably based on the music. Many VFW regulars are older, so this is just a very casual spot. Jeans, shorts. 15 min in between acts. Drinks are $7 for beer or cocktail. Not bad, in par with Fort Lauderdale casino. We had a blast. Amazing evening. They mentioned Blue Tavern, small but same vibe!!! Follow them on Facebook for their schedule. Worth a visit. When you are polite and kind, usually find same!

Top Shelf recently did the bartending for my wedding, and they were absolute rock stars!!! From the…read morefirst meeting Kristina really wanted to make sure she understood us as a couple, our group of friends and family, and the kind of party we wanted to host. I received so many compliments during and after the wedding on 1.) the drinks and how delicious they are, and 2.) the fact that the bartenders remembered everyone's orders after their first round! I had multiple guests tell me they couldn't believe that when they went back for their next drink the bartender would confirm that they'd "like a second" and list off the drink they'd previously ordered. These bartenders are special, and that extra touch really wowed our guests. Their drinks are so delicious! The specialty cocktails we chose were a Strawberry Mule, Old Fashioned, and a Lavender Lemonade mocktail (all of which the guests LOVED). We also had a full bar, and did a stock-the-bar party ahead of the wedding which Top Shelf intentionally tried to use bottles that we supplied before moving on to whatever they purchased at Costco to save us money. They asked us if we would allow shots which we said yes, and twice shots were brought to the dance floor which added to the vibe we wanted. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about Kristina and her team from start to finish. If you want your wedding bartenders to intentionally work to make that special connection with your guests and also make great cocktails, you want to hire them for your wedding!

Tip for my Tallahassee foodie friends. Get thee to Simply Entertaining on Market Street and try…read moretheir Salmon Spread (but call first and make sure they have it). SE is a kitchen supply and gourmet food shop that provides grab-and-go meals on Wednesdays (must call ahead) and an array of prepared salads, soups and other delectables. They also are one of Tally's best caterers. Tonight, I tried for the first time SE's Salmon Spread - and it was the best I've tasted ... anywhere, ever. My wife advised that it's not a regular offering; that's it's usually made when there's some leftover salmon from other preparations (in tonight's case, from yesterday's Grilled Salmon grab-and-go dinners). This is a grave error; it should be a regular fixture in their display cooler. This spread should be a destination for salmon, not a detour. I've always thought SE's amazing cookies were the star of their show. They must now take a supporting role to this amazing Salmon Spread.
