1 out of 3 isn't bad, but its not great either!
by Sunny309 on 4/22/13Seminole Coconut Creek Casino - Coconut CreekRating: 3 out of 5The Blues, Brews & BBQ event was a mixture of incredible music surrounded by a good beer selection and some forgetable BBQ. Understanding the rain put a large damper on the BBQ section is one thing, but merging multiple BBQ venders AND the guests into an a 20' x 10' area is simply unexceptable. When you could get to the food, your selection was slim, overpriced and kept warm in trays for hours.
The Brews section offered a wide variety of drinks, but you better be on time because when one runs out it is gone forever. By the time the headliner came on stage the beer selection was down to dark beers, a few common varieties and a bar with a charge for each drink you wanted. The real opportunity seemed to be in the VIP section. Their food and beer was constantly replenished and they had very nice cushioned seats to enjoy a direct veiw of the stage. All in all, VIP is the way to go if you want to enjoy the full day of activities at the show.
Finally, the Blues. This was the absolute highlight for us. The North Mississippi All Stars never disappoint. Bonerama was an amazine surprise being hte first time we ever saw them. Not too mention a break away Cissy Strut. AMAZING! And local legend Albert Cummings rocked the house, even if at the point there were not a lot of fans in the audience just yet.
Despite the rain, despite a poor BBQ selction, despite low quantites of some unique beers, its an event we will attend again but do it VIP style.
