Boating on the Chain-- Part 2

Right by Steitz's is a new bar called Southern Star (country and western theme and music) which has been there for a long time, but under different names, most recently Harbor Lounge. Unfortunately, it didn't open until 5 and it was 4:30 and the person there wouldn't open. Looks to me that you would open a bit early if you have customers, but NO!!

They got to see our wake as we left.

Southern Star's loss was the Sand Bar's gain as we stopped there for cocktails out on the sand beach. Thursdays they have $1 large tacos and $2.50 Coronas. I can live with that.


ON TO THE MUTINY

Liz suggested we go by the Mutiny on Grasslake. We haven't been here for a long time and think the last time was to see the Thompson-Rydberg Band in 1984 when a friend and neighbor was playing for them. They also have the cheapest gas on the chain, $3.31 for regular. I usually fill our boat from a gas can, obviously.

It almost always appear to be closed when we're driving by it by car, but they have no windows on Grasslake Road and usually no cars in the parking lot. I guess the large summer trailer park there keeps them in business.

Very nice view of the water from inside and friendly bartender.
