What happened? How is a dive charging downtown prices for average? Two of my friends still go for the chicken sandwich but that's it. Alas for the brunch it was an area essential back in the day, what's happened? A bowl of chili is now double digits? The trivia nights are obnoxiously loud and impossible without cheating. Thankfully Digbys, Boomerangs, AJs, Chaparitos, and El Nopal have easily replaced the once corona dive!

This controversial mural is the work of The Droops, an Indianapolis-based artist collective who…read morewere commissioned by The Spot to do the piece in 2015. It located on the side of the Spot and overlooks their parking lot. It takes up 2 sections of the bar's side wall. The mural is in great shape but as you can see in the photos, its lower park is obstructed by parked vehicles. It is a collogue of random images that include a guillotine, a beer on a folding chair, a tombstone, a skull, a in a bikini with four eyes holding a beer up, a knife, a clown, a bomb, a trumpet, a cigarette butt, a foot, a face being punched by a fist, a hand holding a knife, and an odd character holding a beer while playing a piano. The mural also depicts a naked woman tied to a tree and male genitalia in between a hotdog bun, which caused quite a site as you can imagine. There were calls by the community to have the offensive piece removed, covered up or fenced off. The change.org petition ended with 20 supporters. At one point the Lafayette police issued a warning that artwork was violation of the city's graffiti ordinance. There was a point during all of this that they used a Mike Pence head (who was governor at the time) to cover the male genitalia. Ultimately, the Spot won and the city decided that the mural was not graffiti and did not meet the criteria for a citation. The mural is standing today. Even though there are a lot of images to digest. The artwork is very nice. This is a provocative piece that definitely generates conversation. You can deiced for yourself what your thoughts on the piece are. Parking to get a closer look at the mural is easy, even though it overlooks a parking lot, the lot is kind of tight. There is however, some free parking pretty close to the mural too. Anyway, as with most murals that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip. There of tons of murals to check out in the immediate area.

The Black Sparrow endeared itself to me when I saw a gimlet on their special drinks menu. Aw! Who's…read moreeven making gimlets anymore? Let alone featuring gimlets on a special menu and presenting them as bright, shiny things? No one, except this awesome restaurant in Lafayette. Of course, I got the gimlet. I also got what some might call a "girl dinner," but what I call a "hot mom traveling alone dinner," which is fries and a Caesar salad. The fries were excellent: mostly crispy, but every so often a couple of mealy and soft fries were discovered, which was nice. The Caesar salad was good, and it came with whole croutons, which is typical. But really, The Black Sparrow? Your Caesar salad could have been elevated to excellent if the croutons were crushed into bread crumbs! Just saying! The Caesar had a lot of freshly grated parmesan cheese, which was a nice touch. A good Caesar salad needs a lotta parm, in my opinion. I just sat at the bar, so all I know is that rectangular space at the counter. Is there a restaurant beyond the bar at The Black Sparrow? I have no idea, but if you're looking to enjoy a little drink and a meal at the bar here, I think you'll have a good time.

While the menu is comparatively limited, the food hit the mark. The appetizer wings with sweet chipotle were crisp and packed with flavor, the Remmy smashburger was cooked perfectly with great toppings, and the Nashville Hot Chicken had very good flavor despite leaning just a tad dry. A special shoutout to our server, listed on the receipt as "Player 1," who earned the high score for her top-tier level of service. This place has definitely earned a spot on our must-return list.
