This was a while ago, but this bar experience was among my favorites. I'm not a huge drinker, so me ending up a bar known for basically being a drinking bar was a questionable call. It's called the daily pint, and after seeing observing some of the orders, it should probably be called the daily fifth. Jokes aside, my buddy recommends this place, as he was supposed to meet an old friend there, and my brother and I would just crash the bro date.
We show up, and immediately I'm like trying to get a bud light but being shamed into getting a not bud light. I don't know what I got, as all non bud light beers are just not good to me, but the glass was huge. Imagine what you think is a huge glass, and then 2x it. It was that big. I wasn't particularly mad about it, but I was certainly surprised. We wait for my buddy's friend to show up but he never does - I guess no one is safe from ghosting. RIP, hang in there Rich.
We get to chopping with the bartender. She is 11/10 chill AF. A straight chiller. Really just absolutely ice cold in the department for how chill she was. We tell he we hail from the Bay, and so all of the sudden she's got a bunch of songs about San Francisco playing. I'm only cultured on like 2000's emo and 80's hair metal, so I'm just playing along, but my cultured buddy seems to be picking up what she was putting down. Still wondering why anyone would write a song about SF.
My buddy then does like a straight whiskey flight. As far as flights are concerned, this is transatlantic, because he is sending it for a good time and a long time. He must have had like 10 different whiskeys, and I'm like just cruising on this mega beer. My interest is piqued on the whiskey happenings, as I had hair on my chest once (it was like 3, but I shaved them, it's embarrassing). They (my buddy and the bartender) get talking about what my buddy is gonna buy me. They choose like a $40 scotch, and I'm like "I am not worth $40, give me 2 bud lights and that's the end of this conversation."
I get my 2 bud lights, another bartender shows up, we chop, and probably an hour went by of 5 people talking about nothing; it was awesome. I have no idea how long we stayed, but judging by the size of the beers, it was definitely at least 4 years. I would say if you're looking for a chill spot to have 1-47 drinks, you've found it, and if you like whiskey, they've got about 200 to choose from.
