Get your ten-foot Home Depot skeleton out on the lawn because it’s Spooky season y’all! Megan Rickerson, the owner of Brooklyn’s Someday Bar joins the band live from Portland Cocktail Week to talk about her journey from host to bartender to bar owner and all the tears and joy that entails. Megan talks about forging bonds with local lawmakers, cultivating a devoted band of regulars and occasionally, turning her whole bar into a haunted house, like she did for this year’s Black Lagoon. It’s Serious and Spooky and all-together ooky! Plus, her and Damon are neighbors, so tune in to find out what that’s like.

Plus, a bar that bans tank tops for men only? Greg smells some queer-phobia and the gang weighs in.
