#27 - One Barrel Brewery, Alchemy, The Ideal Bar

One Barrel Brewery

A loud hipster vibe place.  The beer is ok I guess. 

Protip: You probably don't want the lambic.

Alchemy

The burgers are great.

Maybe invest in some AC or open a window or something.

The Ideal Bar

In many ways it lives up to its name.  It's a bar.  It's kind of a dive, yet the tap selections are oddly appealing.  The juke box selection was quite enjoyable.  What more could you want? 

 

Pool?  Of course.

#9 - The Laurel Tavern

The Laurel Tavern was punching above its weight right up until the end of the night when someone loaded the jukebox full of the most terrible music any of us had any heard...  Terrible, offensive, joke music.

I've always thought that the best thing about the Laurel is the long bar, so I was disappointed when we arrived to find it packed.  We were relegated to the dining room, which has a distinctively less bar-like feel.  Despite that it turned out to be a pleasant night at the tavern.
