I thought it only fitting that my first entry be about Guinness.  It is, after all, the drink that opened my eyes and got me into beer in the first place.  I actually owe it all to a bartender named Jason at the Madhatter Pub, in Blackrock, Ireland.  Upon my trying to order a Smithwick’s, [...]

Who-oo..Who-oo..In case you don’t speak owl, that means exceptionally good!

It was so spacious inside with wonderful wood flooring [...]

James E. McNellies has been a Tulsa favorite on Wednesday night for their special $3 burgers. The burgers are amazing; they are the size of your face, and are chargrilled, giving them that “straight off the barbie” taste. They come with 2 options, fries which look more like wedges, and sweet potato fries. This place [...]
