Has it really improved? Or just a one-off?

Was arriving home from business trip, being in the area, figured i would drive by and see if business had picked up. this was friday night at approximately 12 midnight.

As i was pulling closer, i noticed cars parked on the north side of their lot (usually don't see any) and i as waiting to make the left into the parking lot, noticed the lot was practicaly full. Pulled up to the mandatory valet, left the keys, got the ticket and proceeded inside. paid the $10 cover and was greeted by the bouncer and asking where i would like to sit. I mentioned i would like to use the men's room and i will grab a seat at the bar (if one was avaible).

As i was proceeding to the back for the men's room, i did a quick survey and noticed Birthday balloons. Had my piss and chatted to the mens room "valet". asked what the story with the ballons was and he mentioned it was the manager's birthday party. tipped the "valet" and got a spot at the bar.
