I really wanna go roller skating, but adult skate is 10 pm on Saturdays. It's really close to my house but it I haven't been heading out to something at that time for decades. Can we boot the kids for happy hour old folks skate? Two hours with bar access at 5 pm Sat 1 time a month would be awesome!
