First Call: A Shot of Georgetown at Calamity Jane's

Barkeep: A.J. Mohr

Watering Hole: Calamity Jane's, Georgetown

Pick Your Poison: A long shot of Sauza Hornitos tequila and a Rainier tall boy chaser

Calamity Jane's is part hole in the wall neighborhood bar, part family-friendly restaurant. The dining room is well lit and open and offers a decently varied menu. The bar is a little more grungy, with regulars swapping stories at the counter and pictogram representations of the seven dirty words you can't say on television decorating the wall.

So what brings a former Rendezvous bartender to these parts (writer mumbled through the lime soothing her tequila-fired throat)? "It's, like, a complete change of pace from working in Belltown."

Rainier (writer starting to feel a little tipsy)? �I think it tastes better [than PBR].�

Georgetown over the thriving Belltown scene (tequila now making writer think she's devastatingly witty--oops, dropped the notebook)? �Everything looks like a detective novel--dirty and gritty. And that's how I like it."

Really? What's your favorite detective novel (writer starting to get very concerned about finding bus home)? �I don't actually read much.�

Make sure you drink some water. The last time I did this, the bartender kept asking me what I wanted. When I explained the First Call rules, Mohr said he could make me a "froofy drink", voice dripping with judgment. Clearly that's not what he considers his thing and I told him to go nuts. So he pulled down a bottle of tequila and unapologetically cracked a Rainier. You've got to respect that kind of honesty, even if you've never been particularly good at holding your Hornitos.
