Street Fight: 1914 Lounge vs. EPPD

There has been talk around town that sometime last weekend, an off-duty EPPD officer was at 1914 Lounge with an intoxicated female; some say that the off-duty officer was even acting aggressively toward the female throughout the night. At some point in the evening, the bouncers of 1914 Lounge decided the off-duty officer and his companion were liabilities and asked them to leave the club. The ...

HOS

For all you rockers/metal heads/bikers/and fans of good beer out there, there is a new bar in town, the House of Sin. Located on Airway, a block north of Jackson’s (viscount/airway intersection) the new venue is just as it proclaims, a house of sin.
