Monday, 24 October 2011: Beer, Tiki, and Mosquitos at Under the Volcano

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on October 24th, 2011

October 9^th was the last time we saw appreciable rain in the Houston area.  That’s just enough time for all of the dormant floodwater mosquito eggs to hatch, grow, and become the adult bloodsuckers we all hate by, oh, right about now.  The good news:  floodwater skeeters don’t carry the nasty human-affecting diseases like West Nile and Viral Encephalitis. The bad news:  since they’re a (relatively) benign nuisance, the City doesn’t spend your tax dollars on spraying for them.  They’ll be around through at least the end of the week, depending on whether we get a decent cold snap or not.

So, for now, even though the weather is otherwise temperate, let’s enjoy our libations inside, at Under the Volcano, 2349 Bissonnet Street at Morningside.  UtV is a great place for beers, tiki drinks, and a jukebox with a diverse selection of actual CDs, all of which can be enjoyed under a palapa roof and inside closed or screened windows. See you there at 8 PM.

Monday, 11 July 2011: Cool down Under the Volcano

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on July 11th, 2011

Hopefully y’all enjoyed the 4th last week and given the continued lack of appreciable rain, stayed safe with the whole fireworks thing. Tonight we’ll be at Under the Volcano, 2349 Bissonnet Street at Morningside, at 8 PM, for beers, tiki drinks, and a great jukebox. See you then!

Monday, 11 April 2011: April Showers Under the Volcano

Posted by john | Meetings | Posted on April 11th, 2011

Although the city finally received a much needed rain shower and thankfully decreased pollen counts (for the moment), we don’t want to tempt the rain clouds and be caught outside on what should be a lovely evening.  So join us for a beer, cocktail, or tiki drink under the palapas at Under the Volcano (2349 Bissonnet at Morningside).  See you there at 8 PM.  Save some dollar bills for one of the best jukeboxes in the city!

Monday, 21 March 2011: Springtime for Volcanos

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on March 21st, 2011

It’s the first full day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and what better way to usher it in than to have a beer, cocktail, or tiki drink under the palapas at Under the Volcano (2349 Bissonnet at Morningside)?  See you there at 8 PM.  Save some dollar bills for one of the best jukeboxes in the city!

Monday, 16 August 2010: Weedwhacking Under The Volcano

Posted by john | Meetings | Posted on August 16th, 2010

We’ll be at Under the Volcano (aka “The Volcano” not “Eyjafjallajokul“, pictured to the right) tonight.   2349 Bissonnet St @ Morningside, 8 PM

Hopefully, we’ll get to sample some of Saint Arnold’s Weedwacker Moveable Yeast Hefeweizen.  Otherwise, there will undoubtedly be some other SA beers, some European favorites, and the standard tiki drinks on hand.
