Chess at the Chatterbox Pub

Ah, yes. An alliteration. I couldn't help myself.

If dinner and a movie just won't suffice, you can always try dinner, board games, and a movie. If you think can handle that, check out the Chatterbox Pub (http://www.chatterboxpub.net/). I'd provide directions, but my sense of direction has been so discredited by this blog that you might as well just go straight to the website.

When Joe "nonchalantly" suggested we go back to the Chatterbox, I knew he finally felt that the past few weeks of playing chess on his phone had adequately prepared him to beat me. So when the hostess asked us which game we'd like (our choices included Candy Land, Yahtzee, Connect 4, Apples to Apples, and more) it took very little deliberation to decide on chess.

Although the Chatterbox Pub was voted the "Best Place for a First Date," I'd recommend it for any occasion. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun, full of people playing board games and video games while they eat unique and tasty food. We both opted for the specialty pizzas, I got "A Night in the Box: A double layer of roasted garlic, fresh tomato, garlic infused mushrooms, smoked Italian cheese blend, ricotta, marinara, and the option of jalapeños for the daring." As I am not very daring, I ordered my pizza sans jalapeños, and it was still delicious. Joe got the "Hellcat Inferno Pizza: Hellcat Inferno glazed chicken breast on a bed of sweet caramelized onions, topped with bleu cheese, smoked bacon and parmesan." 

Since I have not spent all of my spare time in the past few weeks playing chess against a computer, I lost. Regardless, I had a very good time. My Blackberry is now equipped with a chess app, and in a few weeks we might have to go back so I can regain my title of Chess Champion.
