Olive Garden, TGIFriday's, The Auld Dubliner

Last night we were planning on going to Olive Garden for dinner, then to TGIFriday's for a drink after because it was my friend's birthday. Olive Garden was unusually busy and we couldn't figure out why at first, but apparently last night there were a couple graduations and people were celebrating. The food was amazing, as usual, and our server was very good at keeping the unlimited salad and breadsticks coming. I absolutely love dipping their breadsticks in alfredo sauce. We decided after we ordered that we probably should have just done that and made it our dinner because by the time the entre came we were so full from breadsticks that we didn't each much else.

After Olive Garden we decided to go to TGIFriday's at the Galleria for a drink. We got there and the music was unbearably loud. Apparently they have Karaoke on Tuesdays, which I had never heard of at any TGIFriday's location. The singer when we walked in was the girl who was putting on the Karaoke and after she sang she played a couple songs, which were good, but a couple decibels above our comfort level. Nobody else seemed to want to do Karaoke either because of the unusual setting, but the bar was pretty busy. Needless to say we left before we even got a drink.

From there we went to The Auld Dubliner. It was a much more laid back atmosphere. There was a relatively small crowd, so we got to sit at the bar. It wasn't loud like Friday's was, so we actully got to talk to each other, people at the bar, and the bartenders. The bartenders actually seemed to like their jobs and were all in good moods, which made it more fun. Oh! They have board games there! We were tempted to play Jenga, but since we were sitting at the bar we thought it would be a bad idea to have the pieces falling all over the place. Next time we go we are definitely playing a board game! :)
