I heard good things about La Grange not a big fan of Hay Merchant. Etros is pretty fun every once in a while.
quote:And this is why we can't hang out. I drink Bud Light regardless unless it's not available. Then I'm in a whole world of confusion trying to find something I like.
I guess my beer snobbery has turned me into a crochety old man. I could care less about the crowd at the bar, all I care about is what good beer the bar has to offer. I'd take a bar full of meathead *****ers with premium craft beer selection over a bar of great people who are fun to be around with just bud and miller.

if you like expensive beer and hate people...just stay home. I like cheap beer and hate people, so that serves me, as well.

quote:Yeah, I'm not opposed to trying different beers, but when I go out drinking I stick with old faithful.
You ever do brewery tours Catch?
quote:Man, I have no clue what's happening in that regard. I got a charity work thing I have to go to earlier in the day and it sounds like everyone else is hitting up other **** prior to the game. So no clue if we'll actually have our regular table saved. So I'm just playing it by ear and finding out where everyone is after my work event.
I've seen you take shots, so if there is no Bud Light and hard liquor you should be safe right? Also, gonna be at the normal place tomorrow for the games?

quote:Haven't really been any TNDC's lately. Kinda gave up on them about a year and a half ago. I figured Id had a good run of drinking every Tuesday for just over 12 years. Was just too much effort to stay at the office until 5 in order to go out drinking when I could be back home on the couch at 4. A buddy will occasionally shoot one out now once a month, but he usually picks family friendly joints so people can bring their kids, which totally defeats the purpose of going out drinking...quote:Party in Midtown?

quote:La Grange reminds me of a college crowd or recently removed. That's probably exactly what most midtowners want.
Cheap drinks were always a plus there. Went for a St. Arnold's Pub Crawl a few years back and it was a ghost town inside compared to the other places, but you can't beat $2 domestics. Although I always found BRB to be extremely discriminatory...Nothing but bottom-less chapped gentlemen posted on the wall and not a single bottom-less chapped woman. I'm surprised Mayor Porker didn't intervene on what would have been such an obvious discrimination suit.
Places like La Grange, Hay Merchant, and Boheme are significantly better than anything Midtown has now.

We were just looking to grab one more quick drink so we walked up to Not Molly's (the Irish bar across from Molly's that I never can remember it's name). It was basically a bunch of old guys hiding out from all of the crowds. Kind of funny.

So Gaslamp's attorney/cook is about to be on the Matt Patrick show (hosted by Producer Kenny while Patrick is out with cancer treatment) on AM 950. I can't wait.

He basically said that these guys were int he VIP line, which unless you have a card or are a scantily clad chick with scantily clad friends, you are going to pay a cover anyway. They got pissed and claimed it was because they were black that they were being charged a cover, and that the public has already crucified Gaslamp and he wasn't sure there was much more he could say.
They did bring up that groups of guys almost always get charged cover, and that their goal is around 50/50 and that it's no secret that being a hot chick or knowing a bouncer is likely to get you free entrance.
