    THE TRAILER: "What's there to do in Willits?" Drink beer? Hang out with hippies? Drive through it? I've done the latter, but now I know better. THE DIRECTOR: Shanachie's Pub THE CAST: o Corey G. the Yelping Protaginist o Wedding Crew Invading Willits o Cool Bartenders o Crazy Drunk Lady Wanting To Dance With Everyone o Spinning Hippy Dancers o Scraggly & Friendly Cat THE STORY: * FADE IN: Bass-heavy reggae music filled the room INT. COOL BAR - EVENING TIME The bar's filled with artsy and cool photographs of people. Top notch beers line the wall behind the barkeep. Interesting people (hippies to baby boomers, Rastafarians to tattooed & pierced characters) fill the bar. * CUT TO: Group of people invading the town of Willits looking for a place to chill for the evening. They grab a nice wooden booth near the bar and window which looked onto the outside patio. Corey G. is a sucker for Belgian ales, and here he found a stellar selection of brews. He went for a Duvel. It wasn't on draft, but the Barkeep, poured the bottle into a genuine Duvel Belgian Beer Glass--ummm, classy! For the next round Corey G. had a bottle of Delerium Tremens (and yup, it was served in a genuine Delerium Tremens Belgian glass). Wedding Crew had a nice time at their table experiencing the Willits' ambiance--Spinning Hippie Dancers, Crazy Drunk Lady introducing herself to everyone with a curtsy, and Friendly Cat on the table looking cute. * CUT TO: Our group leaving Shanachie's an hour or so later feeling good and satisfied from hanging out at a cool little joint. Willits DOES have a nightlife! * FADE OUT: "Finis"

    It's always a trip to come back to the town you grew up in and actually be old enough to go out to the bars, finally. Even more of a trip is going out to the bars and seeing kids who were literally just kids, rugrats when you still lived in town, downing beers all legally-like. "Damn," you think, "I am old." It's especially crazy around Thanksgiving or Christmas when every random so-and-so is back home and they all converge on the bars so all night you're like "wait, is that who I think it is? Dang, they got fat/skinny/pregnant/hot/ugly/a sex change/etc" Fortunately for me, Willits has Shanachie Pub. Offset from the Purple Thistle restaurant, the winding stone pathway and verdant garden patio effortlessly evoke a rustic cabin feel. Inside, the warm room is all smooth wood, elegant art, and an old piano tucked in the corner--truly more of a coffeeshop feel than a bar. In any case, it's a place that feels like home, with or without the ghosts of my past haunting me there.

    See all

    If live music is what you are looking for then this is the place for you. Crowd can get a little crazy here. #MoneyMikeChallenge
