*You probably noticed that we have made some changes to our cover charge/beer bust/BBQ situation. We have chosen to eliminate the $10 beer bust/BBQ in exchange for an all day cover charge of $7 with free BBQ from 3-5 and $1 beer from 3-4. We are hoping that these changes will help with the perpetual line situtation (both inside and out) and help us better sustain the party. Thanks for understanding and we can’t wait to HARD FRENCH you on the 5th!

Wow — what a great week for Hard French! First, we found out we won an award from the users over at GayCities who named us the ‘Best New Kid on the Block’ – aka best new party. Thanks dudes!
