After quite the hiatus from my blog, I have decided that I'm coming back with a vengeance. I'm not quite sure what to blame this leave of absence on. Could be the 'give it a go again' with P90X that leaves me so tired that I can barely walk at work. Or it could be my inability to not go out because I have so much fun every time I do that it's actually reached the point where I can't say no. And this brings me to my brief story.
Last night I had a lovely evening out with a couple girl friends. The night began with a very nice dinner at this fantastic Mexican restaurant in Philly called El Vez - which can only be described by saying - best case scenario. Turns out they serve 5 different kinds of guacamole. We order one...they bring another...we have no idea and we get both. All for the price of one. Fantastic. The rest of the food is phenomenal as well. Oh and PS - they have a photo booth in this place. Super. My favorite things in the world: guacamole and taking silly pictures.
The night took an even better turn when we walked down the road to Drinkers. All I had to hear about this place prior to going was that you could get PBRs (that's Pabst Blue Ribbon for the foreign) for $1 if you shotgunned them. What could be better? I love PBR and I love shotgunning. Sold.
Turns out they are actually $2 nowadays...the economy really has taken its toll. Nevertheless, it was definitely worth the extra buck considering I had three and only paid for one. Apparently the people in Philly are not accustomed to seeing a central Jersey girl shotgun a bunch of beers on a random Wednesday night. Who knew?
And what could be better than this you ask? They even had photo hunt. Quite possibly the best bar game of all time. I can't say that my performance there was as strong as the shotguns but I mean I showed up.
So there you have it. PBR may be one of the cheapest, most underrated beers but let me tell you something. This was crisp, frost-brewed and delicious and do you want to know what made Drinkers my new favorite place in Philly even beyond all of these other things? Of course you do. They didn't serve Coors Light. At all. And for that I love them.
Stop by Drinkers next time you're in town. And rock out with the PBR.
you're so gangsta.
ReplyDeleteoh wait, so am i.
That was hilarious and when I saw "PBR" immediately thought of professional bullriding!
ReplyDeleteI knew you would say that, Mom. And that's hysterical. And Jess....we are absolutely gangsta for rocking out on a Wednesday night. I look forward to doing it again soon.
