I was visiting a friend who lives a couple of blocks away from this place.  She goes there a lot, so it was her first recommendation to grab dinner and beers.  They have a pretty amazing beer selection, with some of my favorite beers available.  We…More »

I was hear for an early dinner on NYE because Papago closed at 6pm.  It appears we got there just after a big crowd left...the bar had just celebrated New Years in England, so the place had pretty much cleared out.  The service was pretty slow, and I…More »

This was my 2nd trip to Four Peaks, and it was definitely as great as the 1st.  It was a bit chilly, and we were seated outside, but luckily there are heaters to keep you warm.  Our server was prompt and friendly.  We ordered some sort of layer nacho…More »

$16 to enter an area to view something that was caused by nature and you don't even have to upkeep?  Gimme a break!  I am all for supporting national parks and museums, but it just seems ridiculous to pay that amount to stand on the edge of the…More »

I helped a friend move across country, and this was a first stop of the trip.  Although we planned on stopping in Amarillo, we did not make hotel reservations, as you never know what might happen on a road trip.  :)  We pulled into the hotel around…More »

I have been yearning to go to this restaurant for years.  I am definitely a meat and potatoes kind of girl, and this place seemed fun and right up my alley.  We pulled into Amarillo late on a Monday night, so we crashed and decided to grab lunch on…More »

Everyone that helped us during  our stay was super friendly and we felt very welcome.  The hotel is in a prime location (in my opinion), as it took us only about 5 minutes to walk to the Power and Light District where there are A LOT of bars and…More »

This place is 100% totally amazing.  I went to college in the Midwest, and when I knew that I was going to be in KC for a weekend, I immediately arranged a tour.  NOTE: You will have to arrange your tour 3 months out because they do fill up!  Now,…More »

Eating KC bbq should be on everyones bucket list.  Our original planned was to head to a rival restaurant, but found out that they are closed on Sunday.  I have to admit that I was a bit intimidated by the ordering process.  While I checked out the…More »

We got into town late from a long road trip and this was pretty much the only thing open near our friends' apartment.  We were too tired to sit and eat, so we just ordered take out.  The cashier was very friendly.  He presented us with menus and took…More »

I was in DSM visiting my Best Friend and we were looking for a place downtown for a small bite/drink.  I had googled a few places prior to coming to town (being from Las Vegas, I wanted to find someplace cool to go), and thought that Sbrocco looked…More »

This was my 1st trip to Court Ave, even though I went to college in Iowa and visit frequently.  I have to say, I was skeptical about finding good beer in Iowa, but I was pleasantly surprised.  The food was also really good.  We sat in the bar area,…More »

I have been putting off this review forever. I was a server at this place in college and I miss HP. I make sure that I eat there anytime I visit friends in the Des Moines area, it's worth the drive to Ames.  The prices are amazing and you get tons of…More »

I miss the old Whiskey River.

After visiting Ames for the first time in years, I was excited to stop in for a drink. I was surprised to see that the bar has been totally renovated. Not sure how I feel about that....

They still have a good beer…More »

Great location in Downtown Cleveland. Easily accessible, and perfect if you are going to a Browns game or the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  

The hotel is currently undergoing a renovation. Most of the lobby is closed off, and the breakfast room was…More »

There are some amazing artifacts here! I thought it was a bit pricey for entrance, and it's unfortunate that you can't take any pictures in the museum. The museum is easily accessible from Downtown Cleveland, and is next door to the Cleveland Browns…More »

Absolutely amazing! It sucks that you have to pay for parking, but we didn't have to pay to actually see the falls, so we'll survive. Most of the attractions are closed in the winter (for good reason), however it's been a warmer winter so there were…More »

This has to be one of my favorite breweries EVER!  Seriously, this place is just awesome.  A huge farmhouse on lots of land.  Very picturesque.

First of all, I can't believe it is in such a small town like Cooperstown.  The city strives in the summer…More »

I liked this little cafe.  It reminds me of a place (set-up wise) that you would find in the City.  We ended up here because they had a sign in the window offering BOGO beers for happy hour.  SOLD!  It was only for 1 hour, but we took full advantage.…More »

My best friend moved to Cooperstown in early January, and I decided to tag along to help with the trip.  I definitely didn't expect it to be such a small town - there is only ONE stoplight!  Most of the businesses are centered around baseball, since…More »

This is a cute little diner!  And by little, I literally mean it.  There are only 4 tables and limited counter seating in this joint!  I've heard that there can be a wait during the day, as obviously there isn't much room.  The day we went, we got…More »

It's an airport in Upstate NY, what can I say?  There is nothing spectacular about this place, but it also wasn't horrible.  Security didn't take too long, and I found my gate pretty quickly.  It didn't seem like there were a lot of restaurant/bar…More »
