"Speakeasy"
9:30 p.m. Tuesdays at Will's Pub
1850 N. Mills Ave., Orlando
(407) 898-5070; www.willspub.com Ah, Prohibition. Well, not really. Despite the dated conceptual moniker, the spoken-word raconteurs who populate Will's well-received poetry practice can quite possibly light matches with their soul-tortured breaths -- it is a bar, after all. But at the core of the cultured groundswell is an unexpected attention to quality. Bleak candle-lighting gives way to beatific banter (and occasional "slam" poetry), while the casual onlooker gets the sense that hanging out at a bar on a Tuesday is an excusable, enriching experience. Any excuse to drink is a good excuse to drink
