The third stop on our last night pub crawl was O'Byrne's.  We refer to it as the scene of the crime as this is where hubby and I met seven years ago on a cold Winter's night.  Last night started out as sunny and warm despite the wind gusts. We…More »

Well... the Mr. and I went out bar hopping last night and started with the Wooftop patio at the Black Dog.  At 6:30 pm it was sunny with nary a cloud in the sky.  It was windy, but the enclosure was adequate protection.  We bought our beers…More »

I can't believe this place hasn't rated yet.
Maybe it's because it's my local watering hole.  Maybe it's because it has a fantastic "happy hour". Maybe because it has one of the very few patios which are sorely lacking in our city.  I don't know,  I…More »

This is the closest liquor vender to my house, so I come here a LOT!
After almost 6 years of faithful service, this guy deserves a shout out.  He always stocks my favorite beers and if he's out, he appologises profusely and tells me why the shipment…More »

The Walkabout used to be called The Thirsty Turtle and before that Symposium Greek Restaurant.  I had a bad taste in my mouth from this place since the Thirsty Turtle days when I had a confrontation with the manager.  I'm so glad to get reaquainted…More »

Last night, hubby and I got a hot tip that bin ends were on sale at "Vines".  We decided to check out this swanky wine merchant in Riverbend and stock our wine shelf.   Many great selection at around 30% off.  We enjoyed browsing and we were asked…More »

Last night the place was hoppin'.   We were lucky to grab a table for 4 and add a chair.  There are 2 outdoor tables which are highly sought after real estate. Since we'd already eaten, we were just there for the beers.
The first thing I always ask…More »

This is typically the place where we "cap" our nights since it's so close to home.  Last night we staggered in for last call and enjoyed the final set from a fantastic band.  This place is so alive!  Back in the day, under the old regime, we could…More »

I really like the bartender.  He knows a lot about beer!
Polite service, good looking menu. I like all the windows.  I really want to try the outdoor patio, but will have to wait until Spring I guess.
I ordered the chicken quesadilla.  It was put…More »

Our first trip to The Pint brings thumbs up all 'round.  
I've never seen so many fancy freakin' Friday night hairdos.  I didn't get the memo.  I'm more of a "come as you are" girl.  Anyway, our server was really nice.  Our draughts came straight…More »
