A: I really appreciate good coffee and I don't mind paying for a superior cup. The coffee at JPH is good, but I'm always surprised at how expensive it is for what you get. It's one of the few coffee shops where no matter what you get, you're paying more than you should.

A:
Longtime readers of my writings know that I have a pretty sizable fondness for everything on Fremont Street. In fact, it's almost as large as my appreciation for the unusual and quirky in general. So how can any situation be truly critiqued for wanting to check out a place that has "bowling" and "drag queens" brought up in the same sentence? Thus begins my newest review adventure. These two topics became the point of discussion among some friends and I, and curiosity was far too strong to not see what this was about. I have to give credit where due: The bowling set-up is nice. It's only a few lanes, but they are well maintained, and cheap. Holy crap, are the lanes cheap. For a late afternoon/early evening jaunt between three people? $6 for the lanes for 4 hours. Shoe rentals are an extra $3, but that's one heck of a value. There's also an added bonus: They have these green "Stoli" pins that, if placed as the lead pin and a strike is rolled, you get a free round of drinks for your party. I guess all those months of Kinect Bowling finally paid off, as I nailed that sucker to the cheers of friends, fellow bowlers, and drag queens alike. The winning shots? They're by no means small, or subtle. And it was shortly after that I noticed my previously good game going straight to Hell. Even "Granny rolling" it wasn't doing much for my score at this point. I commented to our hostess that I was getting the feeling that's part of their "master plan" to prevent easy access to more free booze. I got a far too innocent yet knowing grin and a wink from our hostess in response as she walked away. Did I mention that they serve Uncrustables as bowling snacks? Apparently, there are also Moon Pies. The service all around was very nice. Low key, no pressure, and a very distinct welcoming vibe, no matter what your background is. Elena, the girl who headed up our bowling needs, was very friendly and attentive, as were the two hostesses who poured drinks for our team that night. Our drinks were brought to us at the lanes, so I can't really confirm/deny if the overall bar service is generally slow, though it did take a while to get people together when it came time to settle up the bar tab at the end when we finally made our way up there. There also have a video gaming lounge where people can hang with Playstation games on massively huge screens, and a respectable number of pool tables. Also of note, while this bar does allow smoking, the hostesses were walking around with cans of air freshener to keep the air from smelling stale and smoky. Finally, a Vegas bar that shows some love for the non-smoker crowd. I can't believe that this simple concept is such a rarity in local lounges around here. Overall, Drink & Drag succeeds in providing a very casual and fun atmosphere. The staff that attended to us were pleasant, funny, and entertaining. The drinks, while a little on the pricey side (for an average beer, anyway), were good and well stocked, and if anything, the draw of incredibly cheap bowling is certainly worth a second mention. And possibly a bowling league. So for those who have looked up in the Neonopolis and wondered what lies beyond those brightly covered doors, here's your answer.
