What makes a good bar?
« on: June 07, 2003, 05:31:08 pm »
Here's the best one in my neighborhood.  I had to go have some fish after reading about KingSparta's dinner plans.

It's as nice a place as I've ever been, I think.  It's about 50 yards from a big lake.  There are railroad tracks between the restaurant and the lake.  You can see them out the window.

Whitey's Wonder Bar in East Grand Forks, MN was the only business in the block next to the Red River to survive the devastating 1997 flood.  I used to spend many a night there while in college.

Here's a nice review:

I Can't go to bars

It was a dark room but you could see a tear drop fall from his right eye.

I prefer the very local and very tastefully decorated bar that you can find here: http://home.powertech.no/mastiff/Zone5-2.htm
This is the only place I haven't been thrown out of yet, even if I demand that they play only my kind of music and even if I tell everybody that I can beat up all the dudes there!

Oh, King, a couple of days ago I tried our new bubble bathtub for the first time, and my children screamed something about "Bastesen" (a rather famous whaler in Norway).  ;D

1. Good Beer

2. Nice Staff

3. Good Beer

4. Nice surroundings

5. Good Beer

Sadly lacking where I live, although theres a nice Belgian bar in my local mall (ugh!) which serves some corking pitchers of Leffe. Favourite pub ever - the Fat Cat in Sheffield. A shrine to beer with Timothy Taylors Landlord (best beer EVER) permanently on tap.

In London The George is a 17th century galleried coaching inn that is well worth a visit.  Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese in Fleet St is also a genuinely historic London pub.

PS. Good Beer
