YTG 2015 UYE | “No Such Thing As Too Much Whiskey!”, Says Twain

Okay okay I admit I’m very late with this review but it popped up letting me know I didn’t do one and since I flew all the way to Sacto and passengered the harrowing drive IN THE DARK to get to this event i’m doing my review now. This was the first night of the Unilocal Tahoe Getaway in South Lake Tahoe and a UYE set up by the infamous Michelangelo. First time I’ve met Michelangelo who greets a person like family, shades of Hawaii.
«No such thing as too much Whiskey» and we definitely tried to prove Mark Twain’s quote true! Terry K and I arrived to find the UYE in full swing with the pool tables and shuffle board games in use with waiting lists for winner challenges. Great fun meeting new friends who embrace you like they’ve known you forever.
Full bar and an outstanding bartender/​manager who was all over the place making sure all attendee were happy and satisfied with their dunk of choice. Great Dive bar experience and a heck of a way to kick off a fantastic weekend event.

It was only the 1^st night of Unilocal’s Tahoe Getaway. But for those of us who showed up to the «No Such Thing As Too Much Whiskey!», Says Twain UYE (wow, that’s a long title for an UYE), we were already partying full speed!
Throughout YTG, variations of the Vegas phrase of «what happens here stays here» kept being repeated like some kind of mantra. But, let’s be honest. What happens at YTG gets Unilocaled about. Which brings me to the infamous boot-​licking incident.
Now, the boot-​wearing individual involved has claimed that no actual tongue-​to-​boot contact was made. But as an eyewitness to the altercation, I cannot confirm nor deny whether or not a lick actually did occur. It all happened so fast, & tongue & boot were in such close, close proximity…
Shenanigans. & only our 1^st night of Unilocal’s Tahoe Getaway! Great dive bar, great bartender, great crowd of Elites from near & far, great drinks, great UYE! Thanks Michelangelo S. for putting together this fun UYE with the oh-​so-​long title.

Michaelangelo, you know how to throw it down! What a great place for a fantastic UYE! Dive bar for the win!
Rob, the bartender, was super accommodating… didn’t matter how many times I asked him what was ‘on tap’. I didn’t have any whiskey though. There was too much talk about people wanting to licking my boots… had to keep my head on straight!
The place is a super fun joint. Pool tables, darts, a small stage for live music… I can totally see this place as a hopping dive bar. The night we went, it was a Thursday and Unilocal took over…(as usual!).
Oh ladies, the bathroom by the pool tables… yeah, that’s not ours. Lesson learned the hard way.
Great drinks, great company, great UYE.

There is, actually, such thing as too much whiskey, but not on this night!
Whatta blast! Post official Unilocal event we all rolled up to Whiskey Dicks for some drank and rowdiness! That’s pretty much what happened!
First off, let me just say that dive bars hold a special place in my heart, so when we spoke with «a local» who said this place was pretty — meh and divey, I knew I would love it!
Ping pong tables in the back, whaa? Free pool. Seriously, that must be why I couldn’t hit a ball in to save my life! Buuut — shuffleboard. My all time favorite bar activity, other than booze, of course! So.much.fun.
So yes. There was booze (whiskey, naturally, since it was a whiskey themed UYE), there were TONS of pictures, there were several moments that we all woke up to wonder about the next day. All in all, it doesn’t really get much more Whiskey Dive UYE than that!
Thanks to Michelangelo for setting us up to end our first night in Tahoe on the right note!

Whiskey Dicks Is The Place For Hosting A Chill, Unpretentious Night Of Fun!
SITREP
First night of Unilocal’s Lake Tahoe Getaway (YTG) 2015 in South Lake Tahoe and we find ourselves in the diviest of fun divy bars!
THE SETUP
My hat’s off to bar manager Rob for running a great establishment where you can just come in, grab a drink, shoot a game of pool or shuffleboard, play an entire Def Leppard Album (thank you, John F.!) and relax and enjoy your Guinness without the fear of local law enforcement (or the Feds) kicking down the door looking for ya!
Yeah, that’s MY kind of place!
DRINKS & GAMES
Rob was serving an excellent variety of beers, ciders and crafting some fantastic cocktails for the ladies, so this made for a fun taste experience as we switched drinks all night!
And beside pool and shuffleboard, there was also ping pong which the local lads seemed to be making good use of. [And after most people left, they actually set up some beer pong which made for some fun hijinx.
THE LOWDOWN
My hats off to the Whiskey Dicks team of owner Jan, manager Rob, and bar manager Kathy for welcoming us, and letting us have our own kind of fun without the irritation of a pretentious, imitating crowd.

Me me me! Yeah me… I’m first!!!
Thanks to Michelangelo for setting up this late night shindig at Whiskey Dick’s in South Lake! I knew more people like me didn’t want to go to bed early ;)
I haven’t been here in years. Friendly bartender, and yeah they have my Guinness on tap.
Shuffleboard and pool and a great jukebox playing the classics. What more do you want!!!
