Shiner Coffee Ale |
My plan was to go to
the Driskill and head out, but Aaron said “just 3 and out;” three bars, one drink each. We drank a couple of beers at Aaron’s waiting for everyone to
trickle in. Geoff, Elijah, and
Pope came into town.
Driskill
Geoff REALLY wanted to go here. It was classy, but I didn’t feel out of place
like I did on West Sixth. I guess it’s because they’re on the
edge of Dirty Sixth, they get a lot of walk-ins from sloppy drunk 21 year olds.

Me, Aaron, Geoff, Pope, Elijah, Cat, and Travis. Vince showed up for round two. |
Time to head out.
Eureka! (or in my notes as Not Logan’s)
A lot of nostalgia walking along dirty sixth. Logan’s was often the start of the night,
with a liter of Bud Light for $4. It was a frat bar. I don't mean that as a perjorative, but that's the best I can describe it. Every night, the bar went
silent when they played the same clip from Wedding Crashers or Full Metal Jacket. And it was probably the same people from when I turned 21,
since everyone in the bar was over 30, with a similar vibe.

"How's that ginger in your eye?" said Geoff to the bartender. |
Pizza Break: Paparazzi Pizza.
Aaron: “This isn’t great pizza, but it’s pizza, so it’s
great.”
No beer, just street pizza. I thought it was Roppolo’s. The
timeline of pizza in relation to bars is disputed.
Buffalo Billiards
I rarely went here as a college kid, but I always enjoyed
it. Lots of games, food, pitchers. But in those days of $1 domestics, few
wanted to spend time/money on things that weren’t beer.
Played one game of foosball, ate too much of Vince’s queso,
and drank what I assume was a piňa colada. Pretty good. But sweet
Jesus, I wanted a beer. I tried to convince everyone to stay for a beer, but we soldiered on.

Friends
We had rumplemintz shots. We were in and out in 10 minutes,
and I have no memory.

I think that's everyone else in the mirror there. |
Barcelona
Supposition Whiskey
cocktail : West Sixth :: Rumplemitnz : Dirty Sixth
Barecelona is a dark dirty dance bar. Again, I don't mean that as an insult. It seems on the higher end for that area of Sixth, and I'm pretty sure they offered us bottle service one time.

Here’s a collage of my blurry attempts at photographs. |

We left at 11:28 according to the time stamp on the photo. |
Spent the night on our college stomping grounds. It was a blast. Most of the fun is just hanging out with good, old friends.
Nonetheless, we're older and paid double or triple the next day.
