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

Posted by john | Beer, Meetings | Posted on January 30th, 2012

Most Bitter Bar in AmericaThe 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.

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

Posted by john | Meetings | Posted on January 2nd, 2012

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, 19 December 2011: Dodging Raindrops at the Petrol Station

Most Bitter Bar in AmericaIt’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.

31 October 2011: Halloween at The Big Bad

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on October 31st, 2011

Infused tequilas, check. Fun tacos, check.  Good (if short) beer list, check.  Lucador painting,  check.  Everything we need for a happy Halloween.  Come out to El Gran Malo, at 2307 Ella Blvd, for some of each. Happy Hour runs to 7:30, so it might make sense to come by an hour earlier than normal (say, 7:00 PM), for tacos.  Or just show up at 8:00 and pay full prices.

Monday, 3 October 2011: The Upside of a Downtrend at the Petrol Station

Posted by john | Meetings | Posted on October 3rd, 2011

Most Bitter Bar in AmericaIt should be a  ideal night tonight at The Petrol Station, at 985 Wakefield in Garden Oaks. Their 35-tap selection rotates regularly, so there should be something for everyone. Come by at 8 PM to whet your whistle and enjoy the patio, as we are in the midst of  the most agreeable weather in several months.  Still could use some rain, though.
