Live music at The Retreat
Salsa music and dancing at The Spot
I took Katie out for a night on the town Thursday night, but it ended up being a bit of a bust. The usual happening spots along Sydney Road in Brunswick were pretty dead. I supposed I've only ever been on a weekend, but I was surprised to find it so quiet on a Thursday night. We started at The Retreat, a great eccentric grunge bar with a really great outdoors area with heat lamps and covered lounge areas. There was live music when we first arrived, but the band finished after only a few songs. The crowd was really mellow and we moved on after about an hour. We happened upon The Spot which apparently was THE SPOT to be Thursday night as it was packed out. There was free salsa dancing and lots of it! I wasn't feeling top notch, so we headed home around 1AM.
