Not becuase it was a warm, inviting English pub, or even that it was an eloquent, pristine place, but because of these things: I knew the bartenders, the waitresses were pretty with nice hooters, they had trivia (that was always a throwback to college), they had lots of TVs and of course the big reason was that 7 or 8 years ago (oh my God it really has been that long), they had more craft beer on tap that ANYWHERE in town. Long before people actually gave a crap (if you can consider them giving one now -- it's marginal).<BR/><BR/>Hey, I won a television at a Monday night football drawing too -- it's still my main TV.<BR/><BR/>Then life happened with the wife and then the kid and for now, the barhopping is a distant memory, which has turned into more family friendly entertainment: homebrewing. Those were the good old days.<BR/><BR/>Oh, to answer the question though, I've always really enjoyed the basement at Rock Bottom.j . j .https://www.blogger.com/profile/09001986729410659816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-70246219863170556042009-02-13T07:56:00.000-05:002009-02-13T07:56:00.000-05:00Man, I haven't hit the Rathskeller enough this win...Man, I haven't hit the Rathskeller enough this winter. It's such a popular spot during the summer but the interior just seems <I>right</I> during the winter.<BR/><BR/>One of my new personal favorite bar/restaurants is Chatham Tap. The interior is nice, though I think a makeover of the tables and chairs could really add to the charm of the place. But when it's nice out, what I really like is sitting outside in the back by that brick alleyway. It's a nice tight space with all the buildings really close to the alley. Very cozy. And there's cornhole.CorrNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371462855078578516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-88026090096482869052009-02-12T19:47:00.000-05:002009-02-12T19:47:00.000-05:00I'm also a Rathskeller girl. If it wasn't for the ...I'm also a Rathskeller girl. If it wasn't for the Rathskeller, I wouldn't be in Chicago now. The kindness of Wayne, Chad and Mike makes the experience even better if you're sitting at the bar by yourself. <BR/><BR/>Maybe if the HBG love me enough, they'll let me tell my Rathskeller How I Met My Boyfriend story sometime. :) <BR/><BR/>I do love going with my sister to Irish pubs during Lent on Friday nights. We'll split fish and chips and drink Guinness .. just us girls. Once we ran into our dentist at Claddaugh and though it was weird, he bought us each a pint. <BR/><BR/>It's not just the place, it's the people I share it with.The Big Teehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02111020939987846864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-45012863785259207362009-02-12T14:45:00.000-05:002009-02-12T14:45:00.000-05:00Just a few days ago I was up in Muncie at The Heor...Just a few days ago I was up in Muncie at The Heorot. I'd love to be able to drink there at least once a week. <BR/><BR/>Great atmosphere and an amazing selection of beer on tap and in bottles! It was the owners (Stan) birthday when we went up and everything except a few brews on-tap were $2 a pint! I indulged heavily upon Double Trouble (tasty), Founders Porter (silky) and Ommegang Rare Vos (stellar). They also had $2 Cheese or Pepperoni Pizza's, which coincidentally tasted like $2 pizza's.<BR/><BR/>I plan on making some trips back to The Heorot in the near future. If anything to try and convince Stan to show me his cellar.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506138590620524434noreply@blogger.com
