Snoose Junction - Part Dieu

Last Saturday, Aaron and I went to Snoose Junction Part Dieu. It is behind Jiffy Lube on Holman. They have parking right out front and we easily found a spot. (Yes, technically we could walk, but we're lazy bastards.)

I like the awning they chose for the front of the restaurant.

As we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly server that asked us if we wanted to sit downstairs in the restaurant area or upstairs in the bar. We chose to sit in the bar and ascended the stairs.

The bar is decorated with an eclectic mix of graffiti on the walls, various original art pieces, and very cool light fixtures that looked like they may have originally been on a boat. Most of the tables are wood, but there is one area off to the side that has a wrap around couch and lighted up table with some small ottomans for extra seating.

We sat at a table and as I looked around I noticed that they have a beautifully designed bar (a FULL bar!) and an extensive record collection. Aaron pointed out that they play all vinyl and the bartender has to change the record every half hour or so. They were playing some type of free form jazz that I didn't recognize when we arrived, but shortly thereafter, it switched to Blondie and then moved onto Elvis Costello and then Devo. (Much better, if you ask me. I'm not a big jazz fan.)

We ordered a cheese pizza with half mushrooms. For drinks, we started out with vodka tonics. After our pizza arrived,

I decided to switch to beer and checked the selection.

Oh, snap! They have PBR! I ordered one to wash down my pizza and Aaron had a mojito.

How was everything? The vodka tonic and PBR were great. Aaron said his mojito was a little too sweet. I thought the pizza was pretty good, but Aaron thought it was just so-so. It has a thin crust, a nice amount of cheese, a zesty sauce and that's all I can report on, since I am boring and like cheese pizza.

I would definitely go back to Snoose Part Dieu. I love that they have a full bar, I love that they play good vinyl and I love that they have wonderfully dim lighting (as you can tell from my pictures). I'm glad they're in the neighborhood!
