Monday January 30, 2012: Beer from that City Up North at The Petrol Station

john — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:05:12 +0000

The Petrol Station has some friends visiting from the Big “D” and is celebrating by tapping a keg of IPA from one of the newest craft breweries in Texas. We promise this won’t be one of those “oh, I want my two friends who don’t have anything in common except me to meet and be friends” kind of awkward platonic set ups where everybody is uncomfortable and just wants to leave. Come out to sample the new beer, or to take advantage of their ‘pint and a burger‘ Monday night special, or maybe some rosemary feta french fries and a pint. Or just a pint. See you at 985 Wakefield, in Garden Oaks, at 8 PM.

Monday, 23 January 2011: Cool beer for a warm January at The Ginger Man

mike — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:00:59 +0000

The Ginger Man (5607 Morningside) is a great place for a pint, especially in nice weather. See you there at 8 PM.

Monday, 16 January 2012: The drinks that dreams are made of at Anvil

mike — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:17:45 +0000

Anvil Bar and Refuge, 1424 Westheimer, is the best bet on lower Westheimer for a good beer. (Yeah, sure, Hay Merchant is opening Real Soon Now. And there really is a Santa Claus.) See you there at 8 PM. As always, take note of the local parking reality, and stop by for a draught or a cocktail.

Monday, 9 January 2012: No Naval Gazing at Liberty Station

mike — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 12:03:49 +0000

So, just in case you were confused, we’re in Houston, not Sandy Eggo. So, when we say “meet at Liberty Station at 8 PM tonight,” we’re not recommending that you hop a plane and meet us here. We won’t be there. Join us at Liberty Station, 2101 Washington Ave, at 8 PM tonight. Their tap list has great variety for its size, and if you’re hungry, there’s probably a food truck outside (you are free to brown bag it as well).

2 January 2012: Start the year off right at El Gran Malo

john — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 15:41:20 +0000

Whether or not you might have (ahem) over-indulged this weekend, come out for a little pelos del perro tonight at El Gran Malo, at 2307 Ella Blvd. If you want to sample EGM’s great tacos, or you want to catch happy hour before it’s over, come by at 7 PM; if you’re just interested in the infused tequilas and good (albeit short) beer list, and don’t care about the cost, stop by at 8 PM. Either way, enjoy yourself responsibly, as Señor Luchador is watching.

Monday 26 December 2011: Boxing Day Drinks at Down House

mike — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 21:34:54 +0000

Boxing Day is a bit of a mystery to most Americans. What does the day after Christmas have to do with the squared circle and the Queensbury Rules, after all? With all of that great food yesterday, most of us are still too full to strap on the gloves. No floating like a butterfly here. Strange habits these British have, what.

In any event, come out and celebrate or just have a libation at Down House, 1801 Yale St., at 8 PM.

Monday, 19 December 2011: Dodging Raindrops at the Petrol Station

mike — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:51:08 +0000

It’s supposed to rain tonight, so leave yourself plenty of extra drive time. Come out to the Petrol Station, nonetheless, to take advantage of their ‘pint and a burger’ Monday night special, or maybe some rosemary feta french fries and a pint. Or just a pint. See you at 985 Wakefield, in antediluvian Garden Oaks, at 8 PM.

Monday, 12 December 2011- Under the Volcano

john — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:45:34 +0000

Tonight we will be at Under the Volcano, 2349 Bissonnet Street at Morningside. UtV is a great place for beers, tiki drinks, and a jukebox with a diverse selection of actual CDs, all of which can be enjoyed under a palapa roof and inside closed or screened windows. See you there at 8 PM.

Monday, 5 December 2011 – Liberty Station

john — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 16:56:33 +0000

Don’t let the overcast and gloomy day dampen your spirits this Monday. Join us at Liberty Station, 2101 Washington Ave, at 8 PM tonight. Their tap list has great variety for its size, and if you’re hungry, there’s probably a suitably locavore food truck outside (you are free to brown bag it as well).

Monday, 28 November 2011: What Greeks Secretly Dream Of At The Ginger Man

john — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 21:44:36 +0000

Even though the tryptophan coma has been largely debunked, come join us for a refreshing post-Turkey beer at The Ginger Man (5607 Morningside). See you there at 8 PM.
