Like, OMG, it’s so important that a restaurant bans smoking that it makes it on TV. That’s pretty cool.
The banning will happen on June 1st, according to the McGrady’s website.
I love the patio and the uber-cheap drink specials, but …can we get a ban on the bad food, too?
In case anyone was wondering, happy hour specials after the break…

I visited South Street last night and am still surprised that the place still gets as crowded as it does on Tuesdays. If any of you cVillains remember, South Street used to serve $2.00 pints into the wee hours. I don’t know the exact dates that this changed, but I think it was about 3 years ago (on another note, I’m getting old).
I remember the shock when we realized that South Street could no longer serve us those pleasurable libations at such awesome prices. Well, if any of you remember correctly South Street used to be THE PLACE to go on a Tuesday night. It was populated by many UVA students, of both genders, and it would get loud and crazy.
South Street used to be the serious drinkers paradise. You came there to drink beer, you scoffed at those who drank wine and you inevitably ended up with a headache. We often would show up around 9 or 10 and stay till midnight. Oh, and good luck getting to the bar. You had to have some serious skills or know a bunch of people.
Fast forward to today. $2.50 pints last until 9PM which inevitable leads to größte Wurst Partei (or Biggest Sausage Party) if my German is correct. It’s horrid. I swear there are probably 5 girls in the entire bar until 8:30 PM. Ladies, if you want to get noticed, make sure you show up before 9PM! Otherwise, I’m stuck, between a rock and a hard place. And on top of that, South Street can unpredictably be dead on Tuesday nights, leaving you in an even worse situation. Last night was like most nights, crowded after 9PM. What gives?
So, do I visit South Street for the still awesome beer specials and forgoe any eye candy, or do I miss the drink specials and go a little bit later when the crowds pick up? Ladies, why don’t you come before 9?
Bonus points for anyone that can figure out when and why South Street stopped serving $2 pints.
