The review of Lock and Keel is here.

This was really the last place I wanted to end up, but being with a group of better than half drunks, the majority rules.

But first, I suggested some of my early favorites, but to no avail. The Matador was crowded, The People's Pub was crowded, so we ferried on down to the Lock and Keel.

We walk in and first thing, I'm carded, that was random. It was right at the door, I mean really, this is a low brow blue collar kind of eehhhhh place...carding at the door? Please. Breathing annnnnd moving on.

So I poke around like a lost prairy dog along with a couple of other guys. We get to the end of the bar and wait and wait (repeat 10 times) and I leave them I discover the rest of the crew taking over a table like some kind of lab created bacteria, but it worked...99%. Ya see, it's just like with most bacterias, or cures, they work most of the time. What was left? A guy and a girl, the guy looking less desirable, same for the woman = match made in heaven, aw aint that...uh, no, not on this blog.

We take our seats and then a rare occurence, I don't really feel like a drink, mainly because I'm not feeling the crowd, the bar or the company. Now, don't get me wrong, they are good people, but I'm the relative newbie, and some are just not on my wavelength, and they were all pretty much drunk and I wasn't.

I got to the bar because everyone was in their own world, so I might as well be in mine. Oh my God, there is a strongbow tap. HELLO! Pint of Strongbow please! Friggin sweet. The bartender informed me he would have to charge $1 for a less than $10 bar purchase, I said alright. The kid was friendly and upbeat and so was the other 'tender. He handed me the bill and he said he didn't charge me and I said, "Thanks, chief"!

I sat back down, everyone was still in their own place, blah blah blah. Bottom line, I was able to enjoy one of my favorite drinks which made it pleasant. Now, on to bigger and better things, faithful reader.
