Saturday night at Que Pasa

A fan (of the music? the drinks?) writes in to let everyone know about a show at Que Pasa this Saturday:

I wanted to let you and other readers know that James (the very popular bartender at Patrick Henry’s and member of “River City High”) is performing a show at Que Pasa this coming Saturday at 9pm. “New Project” and special guest Tim Buckley (of Maki) will also be performing. Thought folks in the neighborhood might want to come out and support James in other ways than just drinking his libations.

double take on Que Pasa

Que Pasa gets reviewed both in today’s RTD and on richmond.com. The RTD piece isn’t positive and says that Que Pasa “has much more potential than is currently realized”. In contrast,richmond.com’s take ends with “while Church Hill residents may want to keep this charming Latin American bistro to themselves, it’s worthy of becoming a destination for all Richmond diners.”
