Popped into One Hot Mama's in Bluffton Saturday for drinks and to take in the local scene. From the outside the bar looks like it might be filled with a biker gang (maybe is was the Harley Davidsons parked outside). However, this is not the case.
First off, when I approached the bar (I was alone) there were a number of people hanging around outside. A woman outside said to me "Hi, how are you doing?" as I walked by. Being from Boston, I was completely unprepared for this type of pleasantness. I muttered out a puzzled "good" as I walked by.
In Boston, when strangers talk to you either there is something wrong with them (mentally), they want something from you (money for drugs) or they're starting trouble with you (hello Testosterone filled Southie). I have to get this thinking out of my head.
Inside was plenty of tables and a medium sized square bar with great seating to view the band and people watch. The music, by Zach Deputy, was excellent. They played a funky acoustical set with both fast and slow songs. Zach's original songs are truly contagious, and the songs he does cover he easily turns into his own.
The atmosphere inside the bar was a great mix. Several bikers. Attractive females. Clicky Blufftonians. A few drunk rednecks. It was fantastic!
I did not partake in any of the food offerings at One Hot Mama's. However, their Captain & Cokes sure hit the spot....I will be back.
