Between 3:00 and 4:00 would be a good starting time. We would be able to get some good solid drinking in before the crowd's. As far as dinner Iv never been to stdymphnas, Iv been past it many times. I think it is kind of small, I may be wrong but I don't think their tables are set up for large groups. As I recall telephone has long tables but it has been a lot of years since Iv been to that spot. Ryans has tables and booths. Swifts has long tables with long benches easily would fit more then one large crowd. Some of the other bars mentioned I don't know how the seating is set up. I might be able to hit some of them this week for lunch if its not to crazy at work and report back.
