Barfly

Sullivans:
I do believe I already talked about Sullivans in the past. Put I went there twice last week. Both times when they have their bar appetizer and martini specials and it really is a great deal considering. Both times I went and they seemed to be having a problem with their air conditioning. We asked the waitress about it and she said the building was old and had issues. I assumed she was going to tell us it was built in the early 1900's. No, turns out it is 13 years old. This is a sign that she needs to travel out of Texas.
Side note: The Gnocchi was yummy through I got in trouble for eating spinach.

Apple Bar:
It's as if a few gay 16 year olds opened a bar in their parents basement. And only shop at Abercrombie & Fitch.

District Bar & Grill:
For being sort of a dive, the staff has a bit of an attitude. The only thing exciting was a guy who let us give him a new first name (after a vote was taken) and then built a pyramid with straws.


Opal Divines:
I had been here once before on St. Pats day and it was packed. Not so much on a staurday afternoon. While they have a great selection to choose from, they have No frozen drinks. Not a biggie for me but friends wanted some magaritas. Btw, don't sit in the big corner both by the window. It's where all the flies hang out!

Trudy's:
I used to go here all the time with my friend Harry and company back in the day. It was our weekly wednesday round table. I have had not been since a visit to austin 2 years ago and a few of us from the old gang met up. Went to the north location this time. Same good food but the central location will always be where the memories are.

Kona:
Not much to report.Only had one drink cos it was too damn hot on the patio.

Jaspers:
New fave place to have a drink. The appetizers are yummy and happy hour on weekdays is til close. And my fave bartender is there. The 27 year old from Cool River. Hi Ian :)

El Arroyo:
I have been here 100 times and the only reason I really bring it up is because I outed the waiter.


Comal and Guadalupe Rivers:
Ok,odd mention but a floating bar in a tube is not a bad way to spend the day looking at the sky and singing Chaka Kahn with friends.
Con: having to carry the cooler when it is full of beer. Pro: Cooler is empty at the end!
