OK, but not sure how much of an attraction these patios will be.

Decided that since I was in the hinterlands today I'd stop at the DP and see what they were doing to cope. I knew they had a patio from previous visits so I figured it was a safe bet.

They were open, tables far apart on the patio, and you get the sense they're disappointed when you show up as a single guy vs a group because you take up a whole table space, but this wasn't a problem since there were only 4 other guys there. No lap dances, obviously, because you can't go inside ( although the irony there is with that window they were almost outside previously! ). I'm not much of a regular there, as I don't get out that way often, but didn't see the one dancer I knew from last summer, I think her name was Cindy.

There's not much socializing with other patrons, just to shoot the breeze, 'cause you would have to shout. Pleasant setting and the bartender was pretty, and I saw one other gal walking around but didn't appear to dance. Beer was cold, so that was good, and I can officially say I "broke back in" before July.
