Although I’ve found it impossible to tear myself away from the War Room’s weekly Circle of Fire event on Mondays, I now find myself making the trek to El Chupacabra (6711 Greenwood Ave N, 706-4889) quite often—particularly on Monday nights when bartender/DJ JJ Wandler divides his time between making stellar margaritas and playing a rowdy mix of noisy garage punk and cry-in-your-beer, old-school country. Every 45 minutes JJ asks his appreciative crowd to vote for either country or punk, and then continues his set in accordance with the majority’s wishes. And it’s free! In fact, I’m going there right now!
