Ah, OK. Here is a better link.

Frankly, I feel better about not having been to any of them now.

I like my bars a little on the "divey/ trashy" side.

You haven't been to ****Mi Rancho in Waynseboro Virginia- therefore, your argument is invalid.

***Lousy food wrapped in aluminium foil like most cheesy mexican joints. Muy Muy Strong margaritas if you hit it at the right time of day.

but since you are whippin' out big town eateries- I liked this little place:

Union Oyster House, Boston, MA :: Seafood and History at America's Oldest Restaurant

Just one. Tommy's in SF. (If they actually mean Tommy's Joynt on Van Ness.)

i dont think i would ever chase a list like that.

my favorite bar i found in Venice..to this day, i have no clue what it was called. hell, i couldnt find it the next night!! i just stumbled in..and well..i kinda stumbled out.

i'm a wanderer.

None.

I've been to a few of the towns though.

Hey. I've been there. First swilling of a dozen oysters in my young life. All 12, down the hatch. Even chewed some of them as there were three pints downed from first to last.

Only thing close to the list was Vertigo42 in London.

Does Chilcoot Charlies in Anchorage count?

Hmm, somebody should tell the EVTC that a bunch of old Irish guys put their family name on those barrels out front. And the front sidewalk has my blood on it for some reason (long story someday). . . :)

Same here

I've been there as well.
If I ever go back to Boston I'm heading there.

None. So my life is somehow lacking?

Rookies........There are a few of us that have drank a San Muigel in EVERY bar on BOTH sides of the street in Olongopo City, P.I. Well maybe not all in one day!

Canon. If you like whisky/bourbon this place is not to be missed.

None... But pretty sure I've been in damn near all of the 13 bars in Brookings, SD! ;)

List the strip joints you've been to.

None. And I'm cool with that.

Seems like an easy way to act pretentious while emptying your wallet on overpriced drinks and atmosphere.......I'm with byron

Well, I am assuming that by paying a high price for your cocktail, you're getting a bit more than just the cocktail. Ambience, history, etc. are surely worth something, yes?

Looking forward to that.

But what have you done in the Campanile?:)

You should try a few of these.


From my 2001 pub crawl in Ireland

1. Thierafurth Inn, Dublin road, Kilcoo

2. Maginns, Castlewellan

3. Old Tom, in the square, Castlewellan

4. The Fountain, Main st. Castlewellan

5. Several others that I have forgotten the names of. :(

I don't understand the "none and proud of it" attitude. I don't think motion is suggesting he only drinks at establishments on the list, just that he enjoys a nice cocktail in upscale setting from time to time. Having a bud light in a dive bar in Iowa is not the same thing as having a craft cocktail or rare bourbon in a world class bar in NYC, London, etc.

I plan on going to the Aviary soon for drinks with my wife. We are going to the restaurant cousin of Aviary, Alinea, in a couple of weeks for her birthday. #26 restaurant in the world. We typically prefer takeout from our favorite sushi spot, but sometimes it's nice to experience the finer things. It helps that it is one block from our house.

None. I don't get much out of hanging around in bars. I find them kind of boring for the most part and haven't really done that in years. I certainly don't see any value in bragging about getting ripped off for overpriced drinks in pretentious settings. If that's your thing, fine. It's not mine.

Union Oyster House is probably a 10 minute walk from my office (on those days that I actually go into the office - I try to avoid it). I've never been seeing as I don't really eat oysters or seafood but maybe it'd be worth popping in at some point just to say I've been. Dunno. I personally like John Harvard's (although I haven't been there in quite a while).

I only go to bars that are good enough to have commemorative t-shirts. ...because that's what makes a bar great. ...commemorative t-shirts.

:rolleyes:

I'm really big on seeking out the finer things in life, but not paying the price. Kind of a game for me. When in Bangkok, I always head up to Above 11 in the evening for a wonderful view of the city and a $12 glass of wine, which is a pretty steep price for a drink in Bangkok. The view is totally worth it, as is the ambience. Some things I just won't do, like paying $25 for a Singapore Sling in Singapore at Raffles.

LOL, that's a Traveler Kids shirt I made for Spring 11. It was a big seller! Too funny.:D

The tiger turned out great.

Been to Schumann's, Munich , good times all around, fancy, too but Maison Premiere, (Brooklyn) New York is a block away from my place an I would say one of the many businesses/reasons this neighborhood has lost ALL its charm. Yet Another up-tight place. Not many happy people work there and they are not even grumpy in an interesting way...pretentious to the hilt. But the beer and oysters are okay but the theatric's get droll fast.
