Wake Me Up

Last weekend F and I went on a random outing. One of our friends has a friend whose dad is part of a band and the band was playing at a recently opened place called Les Maltcommodes. They brew their own beer, but I don't think that their main goal is making good beer. Their beer tastes like any other mainstream beer or tastes slightly worse. I shared a pitcher with F and our friend and I found the beer to be very sweet. It had too much of a caramel taste. It took us a pretty long time to get our beer, even though there weren't that many people. F believes that the place is more of a restaurant than a bar. The crowd was weird too, with a pretty even number of young and of older people. I think the people there are simply people who do not want to go into town to go out, because the bar is in a suburban mall. The decor was okay, even though there were a few creepy elements, like eyes staring at us from the wall. As for the band, first of all, they had a terrible name: Beauty and the Beat. People wanted to see the band because the singer has participated in one of the many singing contests that are on TV. The singer wasn't bad, but she didn't look very comfortable in her strapless dress. One of the guitarists was very weird. Sometimes, he didn't even have his guitar and was simply dancing on stage. When he did have his guitar, he was very enthusiastic about his playing, even when the band was covering a Rihanna song.

Les Maltcommodes could have maybe made its way into my list of restaurants to try, because they brew their own beer. Unfortunately, having been there in other circumstances, I don't think I will ever be going there for a meal.
