About the last thing I expected to see when I walked into Pi Bar & Restaurant on a Monday night was a table and a half of middle-aged guys playing 500. That's the old-timey card game we play with Carol's folks down on the farm in Iowa.

Pi, which opened last year in the Seward neighborhood, bills itself as "an awesome social club for queer women and their friends." Their website promises "hot women, dancing, karaoke, trivia, lots of live entertainment, free pool during Happy Hour from 4-8 PM daily, awesome drink specials, and tasty food.," but not a word about the 500 game. Maybe they are afraid of attracting too many Iowans.
