JACK BLACK BEER - Welcome to MY World!
So, as most of my Steemit Bloggers family already knows,
it has been one SERIOUSLY LONG ARSE week for me...
Closed my business of 11 years,
and over and above the emotionally taxing aspects,
I have had to tie up all the lose ends rather swiftly...
So, needless to say, as Friday rolled around,
I did NOT feel like cooking a meal, as I would usually do...
Jude is away for the weekend,
so Dave and I decided to pop down to
JACK BLACK BEER
for a little food and a lot of drink....
hahahaha!
This GEM of a spot is literally within 5 minutes walking distance
from where we live, which was probably to our detriment...
hahahaha
as we KNEW we could pretty much go WIlD!
Jack Black is a family owned business, started in 2007
and believe it or not, last night was the FIRST TIME
I have ever been there! lol
CLEARLY I do NOT get out enough...
note to self: CHANGE THIS! lol
Quite "unsuspecting" on arrival, as it is located
in the middle of an industrial area....
(yes, we live in the middle of an industrial area...lol)
which is actually GREAT, because there is very little crime...
(touches wood) lol
It is an exceptionally "laid back" establishment...
with a very rustic casual feel about it,
but don't let that you fool you...
The service was BRILLIANT...
(we literally had the SWEETEST waitress EVAAAR)
and the food was OUTSTANDING!
On arrival, it was time for drinks...
(obviously! DUH!) lol
Dave ordered the
"Atlantic Vice" craft beer...
I am no beer drinker - but I had a taste
and this was actually really GOOD!
Dave also experimented
with a couple of their
"Craft Sodas"
this one, I tasted (I forget the name)
but it was SUPER tasty!!!
It reminded me SO much of.... these....
lol - TRUE STORY!
me, well - I ordered....
(50 SBD for the person who guesses)
LOL - juuuuuust kidding!!!!
Yip, I ordered WINE....
in a BREWERY! lol!
Can't take me anywhere hey... hehehehe....
They even had stemless wine glasses
WIN!!! lol
We decided to order a
CHEESE BOARD PLATTER
as a starter,
but let it be said,
this thing was HUGE!!!
and I did not eat again for the evening! lol
It was absolutely DIVINE though!
But apparently Dave still had some space left
in his tummy.... lol
So he went ahead and ordered
THE BUTCHER BLOCK BURGER
which consisted of,
A freshly baked seeded bun, a 180g 100% beef homemade burger patty,
basted with the Jack Black Signature BBQ sauce,
topped with feta, tangy gherkins,
streaky bacon and fresh rocket....
And although I did not taste this,
(for fear of David growling at me lol)
it REALLY did
LOOK AMAZING!!!!
The entire place is a hive of energy and activity!
Which is AWESOME!
There were people doing beer tastings...
Everywhere you looked there was
a hum of conversation and laughing...
It really created the PERFECT
"unwind atmosphere"
The best part of it,
(for me anyway)
was the live music!
NOTHING beats live music!!!
and these guys were amazing!
JAMBO AFRICA
They played such an AWESOME mix of music
catering for ALL tastes,
which was great, because EVERYONE
was happy!!! lol
ESPECIALLY ME!!!! lol
After they were done entertaining everyone,
I took a few minutes to tell them about Steemit...
These guys are SO awesome.... I can only HOPE
that they receive the public attention
they TRULY DO deserve!
Such an incredibly talented group of individuals!
It was SUCH a fantastic evening,
something that I REALLY needed!
Although there is no dance floor there,
I CREATED one! hahaha (as Jayne does)
and not long after, many were showing off their moves lol
I really just let my hair down
and it was GREAT!
Say CHEEEEESE Jayne! lol
(yeeeah, I look like a train wreck.... I know, ok! lol)
but hell! its been an exhausting week.....
BUT, I survived it....
I am still alive and kicking!
And I now cannot believe that I have not
visited Jack Black before lol!!!
Well, better late than never they say....
So, on that note....
Thanks for an EPIC evening JACK BLACK....
We will be seeing you guys again SOOOON!!!
hehe :)
Until next time...
Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx
CLEARLY you do NOT get out enough! I can't believe that place is only 5 mins away and you have never been there. It looks A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
What a great start to your new adventure. It bodes well!
If ever I'm in your neighbourhood (not that I know where that is 😁) I'm SO going to Jack Black Beer. That food and craft beer is right up my street. Yum!
Great photos by the way! 😁
hahahahaha!!!! TRUE STORY!! @gillianpearce :) buuuut!!! - this will most likely change now that my entire life has done a 180 lol!
I have no doubt of it! 😍
I support your comment👍 @gillianpearce
@jaynie @Bcrafts talks alot about you In my dm.
I'm the latest steemian in the community
I'd love and appreciate your "welcome me" and comment on my blog @udezee.
Love you 😄😍😎
That's one of the advantage leaving in an industrial area.
But you chilling without me
Hahahahahah
You are LUCKY that you are a short walk fm the dining.
As to craft beers, I love me some of those too ! This year, I went to the North #Dakota St. Fair & tried 1 of there craft beers -- it was a Blonde beer, very good.
That Butcher Block burger sounds appealing ♦♦ Can't quite believe u began w/ the Cheese Platter, & still had room for that !
You are able to consume (Ha) like some Oil workers I've seen when dining here in No. Dakota ! Yet I imagine u deserved a break, after closing your #business down.
Onward & upward !
P.S. - Yes, it's good #photography you did here -*NOTE: Have to re-steem this as it's a very FINE post
(Done)

Please help vote me i am new steemiti
You are one tough lady @jaynie, but so caring and sensitive at the same time ❤ . I'm so excited to see what the future holds for you!
That place looks like so much fun! I think Ray and I need to come visit again 😉
Looks - and reads - like you had a blast. Love a great brew pub with awesome music. Also love that they have craft sodas - I've been doing Dry January and it's so hard to find decent non-alcoholic options that aren't just sparkly water with lemon or mass-produced sodas.
Thanks for the fun post!
Guess this is what you're going to be up to now?
Hope you could walk home food and cheese looks good lovely place budd
Wow, @jaynie sucha lovely place to enjoy your beer herem wonder how much different taste with malaysia beer. With bite of cheese and drink with beer, it is heaven!!! haha
