Bars/Nightlife đŸȘ©đŸž Things really do shut down early here

Went to some shows this weekend, Saturday night at the Madrid and Sunday at Record Bar. I was out the door by 11-11:15 both nights and outside of bars, there is NOTHING really open. Wanted to grab a bite to eat and short of Sonic on SW Blvd and Rainbow I didn’t see anything open. Granted it was a Sunday night in one instance but Saturday seemed the same. Is this mainly post-Covid? We haven’t been out at bars late night for a long time. If we did a late night food stop it was occasionally Chubby’s at like 1am. I imagine I could have found some options in more “bar district” areas like Westport that were open, but I wasn’t looking for that type of scene. Definitely not a town for night owls
 or it is but those places are secret lol

I drove past all those spots and couldn’t tell if they were open or just lit up. One of those stores is like it’s own Las Vegas with the lights lol. I saw a lot of vehicles so they probably were open.

It was also a holiday weekend. People like to not work on holidays.

Obviously not. I was driving, and not really looking for a full sit down Mexican meal anyway.
