We like having a good time, feather boas, dressing up in ridiculous and inappropriate costumes for the holidays, barbies and generally goofing off while we work.
Music
Anything 80's...or anything good that doesn't split your brain open 'cuz it's so loud.
Movies
We like every movie ever made...seriously.
Television
We like every show ever made...I mean it.
Books
Well - because we're a bar and therefore not a sentient person, we have to go with "Hello God, It's Me Margaret."
Heroes
Hmmm...that's a toughie. You should probably just ask each of the staff members individually for that answer.

Who I'd like to meet: We here at Mia's want to meet everybody!
I love the new space. One silver lining of the new Centrepoint construction/deconstruction district, is a Brand New Mia's. I now, think the rest of the displaced neighbors should sidle right up the street. I am sure the Busters could go near Sams Hotdog stand, and maybe The Dame could relocate to the second floor ballroom!
Hey everyone!!! Glad that you've got this up!! I hope I get one the top friends list. OH and don't forget to mention MONDAY NIGHT KARAOKE!!!! You know we have a FABULOUS Time singing!! Everyone come and have some FUN!!.
OMG!!!! Last night I had the "Ravioli to die for..." and it was! In fact it was so spectacular I ordered a second one to go for lunch today. However, I just had half of it for breakfast. Again "to die for" is almost an understatement! Sweet Jesus that is some good food! Thanks for a great time on the Ole Valentine!!
Well I can die easy now that I know I won't be alone in hell. Donna, Dustin, Unnamed Other Voice. I loved the video. Just head up towards the main stage after you pass through the Soul Gate and tell the little green fellow with four arms you are with me. He will have your backstage passes. See you there and don't forget to dress for the occasion!
Yo Yo Mic check Mic Check fac check fact chick - In 1999 Mia's was just a sparkle in their eyes, as MB n Me were working at Regina's until it closed its kitchen after it done run out of foolishness. January of 2000 is when MB knocked on Papa Joe's Pawn Shop and negotiated for the afformentioned Place. So ends the reading by Rev Kev - was there when it happened.
