You can't throw a rock without hitting 5 bars. I am a fan of the Roial on 120 west 5th. Nice place and drinks are reasonable, great scenery too I'd follow the music.
Flying Saucer on Lamar in the triangle ( ie right south of 51st) has a super selection of craft beers but if you ask them for a mixed drink, first they'll laugh and then it will suck. And if you go back they will ask you if you want another fucking Martguerita... no lie . lol
I think hoek's is the best pir in town and casino el camino is by far the best burger on earth... even if you dont wanna go bar hopping, eat at casino and get the buffalo burger ( I am not a huge fan of buffalo sauce or bleu cheese, but they make the combo into literally my favorite food )
Well... the music is more what was on the "order" I received. Since my friend can't be here himself (serving overseas) I wanted to give him something to vicariously live though me...
Since I just got back in... I doubt I will have to find the Death Metal Pizza on this trip. *sigh*
