My friends and old Sun-Sentinel colleagues John and Greg performed in the open mic portion of the monthly Songwriters Showcase at the Broward Center last night, interrupting the fairly steady stream of guitars with a little piano music. Like true professionals, they wanted a beer when the evening was over, so I led them down Andrews to Tap 42.
They knew it as Brownie's. Taking a seat in the garden, John remembered Ernie's (which is still around) as the place people would go - even the editor-in-chief - after Sunday afternoon softball games. Mention of the old Cajun House brought up more names: The Governor's Club, Banyan's (now Chima), Dancing Bear and La Brasserie (now YOLO), Bar Amici (M Global Tapas Bar) and the more recently departed O'Hara's. Most of the bars are replaced; the journalists aren't.
