Sounds good,I wotk in Irvine and live in Lake Forest.
Friday or Saturday evenings work best for me.This is a tuff group to get together,either that or they just don't like me no more...LOL
I often herf with a group from another board and about the only way it works is to just post a date,time and place you want to host,plus your email and see who shows up.We usually get 6 to 8 people but have had as few as 3 and up to 22 for a lobster night at Taps in Brea.Taps is nice for a larger group and they put up with us on the patio,a patron or two may gripe from time to time but the managment is totally sympathetic to our cause,just tip well and don't be too big of a pain...LOL
Newport Beach Brewing Co is also cigar friendly on the patio,they also have a great happy hour during the week.
Haven't been to Red Cloud as yet but it is on our list.
If you post it they will come...
