Bartender Chat: Nick Palumbo of Kelvin Arms – Houston Restaurants and Dining – Eating Our Words

Doesn’t give us a reason to revisit our old haunts just yet (and might explain why the Stone IPA keg was always dry):

So, what does Palumbo like? “I’m a beer drinker,” Palumbo says. “I like lagers versus hoppy beers.” His favorite drafts at Kelvin Arms are the Warsteiner and Belhaven Stout. “I prefer the Belhaven over Guinness because it has a sweeter finish.”

The Hobbit Cafe – Monday – Feb 22, 2010

john — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:04:19 +0000

A Return to Middle Earth or at least The Hobbit Cafe, 2243 Richmond Avenue @ 8PM. After our recent trip, that we enjoyed very much, we were impressed by the very nice selection of beer and tasty food.

This goes without saying but please remember to bring cash and be nice to your waitstaff, we are after all treating a smallish restaurant like a pub.

Also please let us know if you’re coming by posting a comment so we can arrange for enough seating.

Celebrate President’s Day or your overwhelming desire to have the classic New Orleans drink the Sazerac at the Anvil Bar & Refuge 1424 Westheimer Rd. Ste. B, 8PM, park in one of their lots or watch out for No Parking zones.

**** Update – I’ve been informed there might be cupcakes tonight.

Monday Feb 8, 2010- Prepared to get Stone’D

john — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:28:11 +0000

For only $11.25 you can get a flight of Arrogant Bastard Ale, Oaked Arrogant Bastard and Double Bastard with a Bavarian style pretzel.

if it’s rainy we’ll be inside where its warm, dry and definitely a little arrogant.

Monday, 1st February 2010: Back to the Shire at the Hobbit Cafe

mike — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:47:24 +0000

It’s no secret that Hobbits love beer. Not surprisingly, The Hobbit Cafe, 2243 Richmond Avenue, has a fairly nice selection: a series of taps are largely rotators, with a Saint Arnold Seasonal usually available, as well as at least one Belgian and one Pale, plus a decent bottle selection. And yes, they come in pints–and larger!

Come join us around 8 PM for a pint and possibly a Bilbo-esque late supper of a Smaug sandwich. But keep yer pipe-weed smoking on the porch: this is Houston, after all.
