Virginia Beach, Virginia - my “final” visit to the “Duck Dive” featured customer & pARTy Pal “Adam” … “Adam” was the HIGHlight of my “final” “Duck Dive” visit … after 3 visits, the staff gives me absolutely no smiles or reasons to return … my tuna bites were expensive and lack quantity & quality … p.s. if you are gonna serve small quantities, at least serve on a small plate 🙄 - a huge bowl with small portions, just makes it worse … “Adam” should be on their payroll - he greeted each customer entering and shared many smiles … PLUS, this surfer-themed bar lacks a comfortable bar atmosphere - too sterile & bland for me … “Run-A-Way Bill” was here! … but don’t plan on returning 👎 #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2023 #DUSA2023 #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2023 #rabBARSofVirginiaBeach #rabBARSofVirginia #rabBarUSA #rabBarUSA #RABpARTyPal #VirginiaBeach #rabVirginiaBeach #rabVirginia #Virginia Friday 03.24.23 (at Duck Dive) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqN_lq-uWxo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Virginia Beach, Virginia - the 64° warm breezy sunny early morning turned into a 74° damn windy & chilly late morning encouraging me to swap “Wheelie Nelson” for “Flo” … Friday belongs “Run-A-Way Bill” Favorite bartender “Ali” of “Just One More Bar” and “Ali’s” loyal groupies - truly interesting characters 😂 … today I learned “Fire In The Hole” means a shot of Fireball is on the way - taught to me this TGIF day by the “BIG Fugly” … 3 “Fire In The Hole” shouts later, I was feeling the smiles 😂 - Thank You Very pARTy Much “BIG Fugly” … customers “John” & “Mitchell” kept the smiles-a-flowin’ … “Run-A-Way Bill” Favorite bartender “Ali” & super grill-master “Liz” have not seen the last of “Run-A-Way Bill” … “Just One More Bar” is as good a neighborhood bar as any you will find - especially during the day … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2023 #DUSA2023 #rabSelfies #rabJustOneMoreBar #JustOneMoreBar #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2023 #rabBARSofVirginiaBeach #rabBARSofVirginia #rabBarUSA #RABpARTyPal #rabBartendersVB #rabBartendersVirginia #rabBartendersUSA #rabAshTrayBar #rabSmokingBar #rabUSroute58 #USroute58 #VirginiaBeach #rabVirginiaBeach #rabVirginia #Virginia Friday 03.24.23 (at Just One More Bar and Grill) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqNnosmOXTP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Virginia Beach, Virginia - a warm Friday morning inspired me to take my 1st “Wheelie Nelson” ride for 2023 … my 7 block adventure from 24th Street featured several Good Morning greetings … a couple in a hippy-inspired van greeted me with a peace sign ✌️while at a stop sign, a guy on an electric bike shouted out a “good morning” as he headed in the opposite direction, and a lady enjoying the sun from her balcony gave me a big wave … “Nick’s” served me the early morning “Pooch” special with a side of crispy Scrapple (the don’t ask what it is meat) … a taste of the VB summer On Day 4 of Spring 2023 … a smile-riffic start of another day in the “Life of RAB” … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2023 #DUSA2023 #rabSelfies #rabWheelieNelson #rabNicks #VirginiaBeach #rabVirginiaBeach #rabVirginia #Virginia Friday 03.24.23 (at Nick's Virginia Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqNhJIfO5hc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Virginia Beach, Virginia - months ago, “Run-A-Way Bill” Favorite bartender “Claire” introduced me to the “Run-A-Way Bill” Shadowlawn EATS “Top Shelf Challenge” … the challenge was to drink a Shot of each of the Shadowlawn Top Shelf pARTy Beverages … I completed the Challenge - even the Gin 🙄 🤑 … tonight “Claire” officially inspired me to start a new Challenge - the “Run-A-Way Bill” “Bottom Shelf Challenge” … the “Bottom Shelf Challenge” will feature vintage bourbons (plus) at various bars around the USA - pARTy Beverages that our great grandparents drank when there were not so many pARTy Beverage selections … “Claire” is one of the best multi-task individuals I have met in my travels - constantly smiling while energetically pouring drinks, chatting with multiple bar “and” table customers PLUS farewells to departing customers & greetings arriving customers … when “Claire” is on-the-move she actually creates a breeze 🌬️🌪️ as she passes by … I was lucky to have “Claire” slow down long enough to pose for the “Bottom Shelf Challenge” picture featuring “Seagrams VO” … much of the night “Claire” was a “blur-in-the-night” - a super-riffic hard working lady - see “Claire” blur 😂 … Thanks for the smiles 😃 “Claire” … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2023 #DUSA2023 #rabShadowlawnEATS #ShadowlawnEATS #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2023 #rabBARSofVirginiaBeach #rabBARSofVirginia #rabBarUSA #RABawardWinner #VirginiaBeach #rabVirginiaBeach #rabVirginia #Virginia Friday 03.10.23 Friday 03.10.23 (at Shadowlawn Eats) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxjSJmOSJT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Virginia Beach, Virginia - a visit to the Icehouse on Friday featured long time ago pARTy Pal & Master Story Teller “Bill” … in addition, I spotted a familiar site - a jacket-shirt I lost weeks ago was hanging on the wall hook … what a surprise - I long ago gave it lost! … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2023 #DUSA2023 #IcehouseVB #rabIcehouseVB #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2023 #rabBARSofVirginiaBeach #rabBARSofVirginia #rabBarUSA #RABpARTyPal #VirginiaBeach #rabVirginiaBeach #rabVirginia #Virginia Friday 03.10.23 (at Ice House Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpuIouCuURJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Virginia Beach, Virginia - my final pARTy Stop of the day was with “Run-A-Way Bill” Super-Favorite bartender “Ali” who ALWAYS greets me with a smile & a cold Icehouse beer … the gloom of outside disappeared once inside “Just One More Bar” … pARTy Pals “Alisa”, “Paul” & “Crypt” of the “Margarita Grill” joined me for some “Just One More Bar” smiles … my feelings of gloom disappeared for the day … “they” (whoever “they” are?) say that alcohol is a depressant BUT add some pARTy Pal Smiles and the clouds of gloom disappear … thanks for the TGIF Smiles pARTy Pals … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2023 #DUSA2023 #rabSelfies #RABpARTyPal #rabJustOneMoreBar #JustOneMoreBar #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2023 #rabBarsOfChixBeach #rabBARSofVirginia #rabBarUSA #rabBartendersVB #rabBartendersVirginia #rabBartendersUSA #rabIcehouseBeer #rabIcehouseBeerChallenge #rabUSroute58 #USroute58 #VirginiaBeach #rabVirginiaBeach #rabVirginia #Virginia Friday 03.10.23 (at Just One More Bar and Grill) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpqA2NlO33E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Virginia Beach, Virginia - my 2nd smile opportunity was the “Margarita Grill” … I was greeted with a smiles from pARTy Pal “Paul” before I even sat down - great start! I shared smiles with 2 new pARTy Pals - “Alisa” & “Crypt” … bartender “Jackie” poured the smiles … together with “Jackie”, “Paul”, “Alisa” & “Crypt” I again left with “more smiles than I came in with” 😃 … “Epsilon” tequila is the “Run-A-Way Bill” pARTy Beverage of the “Margarita Grill” - a “Run-A-Way Bill” sticker marks the “Epsilon” spot … the PBR comes in a 12oz rather than the 16oz pounder size - I like that! I also got a smile when I backed into the only parking spot available and to my surprise, saw a “Run-A-Way Bill” sticker staring at me in my rear view mirror 😂 … the gloom VB was diminishing … “Run-A-Way Bill” was here! (and will return) … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2023 #DUSA2023 #rabMargaritaGrillVB #MargaritaGrillVB #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2023 #rabBARSofVirginiaBeach #rabBARSofVirginia #rabBarUSA #RABpARTyPal #RABwasHERE #VirginiaBeach #rabVirginiaBeach #rabVirginia #Virginia Friday 03.10.23 (at Margarita Grill) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpp9dERuJqT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
