| 6th Street walk,
downtown (PG-R) ~
Can't go into most bars with kids (trying is a blast) but you can sure enjoy the music in
the bar on the street. Strange but true. Make sure to take the kids
for a pee in the Driskill Hotel bathrooms (free goldfish and peanuts if
you sit near the bar and not look homeless). Don't miss Wild About
Music (art) across from the Driskill, or Aarons Rock n Roll near
Esther's Follies (which can be fun to put the kids at the
window/backstage). Maggie
Mae's screams 'beer specials for the kids!' every time we pass. |
