Max Gill and Grill - How Does $1 Taco night turn into $100 Taco night? Real Easy

Max Gill and Grill
1052 South Gaylord StreetDenver, CO 80209

This place is fun.  A Bff and me like to go here whenever the lord, or government gives us working people a day off.  We like to think of it as our own little boozy staycation - because the back patio looks just like Key West, if Key West were frigid and snowy in the wintertime.   I love it partly because it reminds me of the greatest buddy / cop comedy of all time, Running Scared. You get the Key West warmth and the Chicago cold all at the same time. Lest you confuse this rather elegant comedy with some other annoying Running Scared - this is the brilliant film starring Gregory Hines, Billy Crystal and a hot young newcomer named Jimmy Smitts, and not the one with that Paul Thomas Walker person, or Paul Walker Thomas, or Jonathon Taylor Thomas, you know what I mean. 

Anyway, last night we decided to try out taco night because as L said - Hey-  its a dollar a taco!  Well apparently, we had 100.  I was very happy with the service and the food was pretty decent even though the tuna tacos were a little overcooked, the swordfish tacos were a little fishy and some painus behind us kept screaming about hockey.  As one who inherently strives to overcome adversity, I along with my team of happy hourers, managed to power through some oysters, tacos and beer.  You are welcome America.

Max's isn't going to win any most delicious awards (with me at least - who the fuck knows in this town - if Stuebans wins one more goddamn award I am going to start cutting myself). But I still recommend it considering that we went specifically to eat highly discounted seafood which is basically an unwritten rule of NO in the food industry. So Huzzah!
