    Depending on the time, you might be able to persuade @drew and myself to go, especially since he has declared you and Lauren to be supremely cool, lol.
    We've both been to and enjoyed the Allen Street Hardware Cafe.

    I agree with Janelle, both about the supremely cool part and about Allen Street Hardware. Mother's is pretty cool as well although kinda pricey imho. Colter Bay has some really good beers on tap as well.

    I disagree with my two learned colleagues. You aren Lauen seem not only uncool but Hardware smells like wet dog.

    • BANG* *CRASH* *POW*

    ahem, now that my evil twin has been defeated but lives to fight another day, I will beg and whine to see if @jim would like to go out.

    And Coulter Bay has delicious, delicious sweet beer.

    Oh btw if you guys are still out after I get out of work I would love to go. Although I shouldn't be out to late because Im going to Syracuse to work in the morning.

    Colter Bay (B+): I like it there. They have a version of the "Group Therapy" that keeps the 6 shots of whiskey but replaces typical bar beer with Stella Artois. Muy delicioso. Mixed crowd. I think there is a dart board. Has a patio, and the inside I would say is spacious enough for me. I would say above average beer variety, average liquor quality. Overall it's a pretty good joint, my favorite of the three by a very small margin.

    Hardware (B): For me, the best atmosphere of the three, although it does get very busy and very crowded because of the small size of the place. Nice music usually. Pretty good selection of booze of all kinds, although they don't have all of the beers that I like (within reasonable parameters, I don't expect all bars to carry St. Bernardus Abt 12). Stocked with hipsters, posers and wannabes who want to look classy drinking wine, although they wouldn't know the difference between a Chateau Lefite and a Chateau Elmwood. Go ahead and try to find a parking spot, I dare you. Overall, a nice joint to visit and get a little saucy, once you get in the door.

    Mother's (B-): A misanthrope's paradise. The most upscale of the three, with the best booze selection. If you like whiskey, they have Oban, which is the only reason why Josh would ever go to Mother's. Filled to the fucking brim with wannabe trophy wives, effete fakesters, and all sorts of people I despise. Oh yeah, and you're forced to deal with them too, because usually it's packed like you're in a cigarette box. As a result it is difficult to get drinks. Usually I can stand about 30 minutes there before compulsively wanting to leave. Remove all of that, and you have what could be a very, very nice upscale bar. Just get your fantastic booze and keep your elbows out.

    Awwwww! Ya'll are so sweeeet.
    Ok, but seriously folks...we are talking a not to late, only a couple and by couple I mean two or three at the most kinda night. It seems to me that there is some disagreement among those who wish to accompany us...now please don't fight even though we are so very cool and all...hehe, yeah, but where to go? We have been to only one bar on Allen so we are open to whatever you suggest. Do respond.

    We can be at any bar you name after 8pm! We even started pre-gaming!

    here is a deal breaker... does the hardware have blue moon? i'm an addict and if i don't get my blue moon fix i'm afraid i'll be plum crazy.

  9. janelle ·

    Drew thinks they might have it bottles, but neither one of us is sure.

  10. james ·

    It doesn't look like they have blue moon
    :::link:::
    that is their beer/wine list

  11. james ·

    Coulter Bay has Blue moon on draft.

    :::link:::

  12. fellyconnelly ·

    okay so did you guys decide where we are going yet?
    i'm going to go relax/have dinner... i think i'm getting a headache which is NOT good... pooey

  13. drew ·

    I think the ball is in your court on that decision. Read the reviews and pick one!

  14. james ·

    Well, I will put my vote in for Coulter Bay on account of the Blue Moon and headache. As if somehow the magic of one will dispel the other.
