March Summary

Here is a brief wrap up with pictures at the bottom of the march that was completed a couple of weeks back.

Papa T’s – We were in and out of there pretty quickly. I have had some bad experiences there and none of us really wanted to spend a lot of time at this pub. So, we drank our drinks and got the hell out of dodge. Drink’s Consumed: 1 Rolling Rock

Tic and Tin – This place was really sketchy. There is no, and I mean no natural light coming in to the place. We ordered a beer and sensed a bit of the cold shoulder from the regulars. So, we decided to hit the back room and play some pinball. We put in a dollar and somehow got eight credits. After playing some pinball it was on to the next stop. Drink’s Consumed: 1 Old Style

The Sayre Lounge – Surprisingly this was one of the better stops on the march. There we were met by Wally and Art. The bar was pretty empty but the place had a really nice bartender. It had a nice pool table and a dart board. The bar has a new owner and I would not mind going back there, as it really wasn’t that bad of a place. We watched some of the Mount Carmel game and then we were off. Drink’s Consumed: 1 Miller High Life

Champs – At Champs it was Spike night. Meaning, they had eight bands playing all of which were of the metal genre. There was a five dollar cover charge. To make up for having to pay a cover we elected to stay there for two beers instead of one. We found a table in the corner and drank our drinks there. I must say I felt a little old in the place and found myself missing the old Gator’s. Drink’s Consumed: 1 Pabst Blue Ribbon, 1 Miller Genuine Draft.

Frank’s Place – Frank’s Place was about as dead as you could get. There were a couple of straggler drunks at the bar and another couple of people playing darts and that was about it. We ordered a pizza from Little Frank’s next door which rocked. The juke box was open so I got to play some tunes there. Also, they had upgraded the bathroom since my last visit so that was a plus. It is not a bad place and I would go back. Drink’s Consumed: 1 Heineken, 1 shot of Dr. Mc Gillicutty

The Castle – At the Castle again, we were met by Wally and Art. My softball team is sponsored by the place so I know the bar well. It is a shot and a beer joint plain and simple. We settled in there and debated the tunes that Art had played in the juke box. Drink’s Consumed: 1 Smithwick’s, 1 shot of Jagermeister.

Durbin’s – We finally arrived at Durbin’s and it was there I realized that I am getting old. I didn’t feel like I drank much but, I still had a nice buzz. Sadly, on Saturday’s Durbin’s has karaoke so we were stuck listening to that. Dell was nice enough to tell the guy sitting in front of him that he had dropped twenty bucks. In return that guy bought us a round of drinks. We drank our final drinks and were off to the cab we called to get us home. Drink’s Consumed: 1 Foster’s, 1 shot of B&B.
