Cary Me Home... Tonight!

Well, there are a few places here in town that offer a great selection of beer. I have been frequenting some to experience some different ideas. There are about four bars or restaurants that have an eclectic selection.

There is one of my favorites, The Abby Inn which downstairs is the Abby Underground, they have over 100 beers available. There is also The Mellow Mushroom, they have a somewhat similar selection, yet have some different at times. Both have a club that you can join to keep track of which ones you have tried. If you like a music scene, try Hailey's Bar, they have bands that will come throughout the week, and with that comes a rotation of beer among two taps and over 100 beers on tap regularly. One other great bar for beer lovers in on top of Andy's Bar at Pasquali's, I hope I am spelling that right guys. But they have a nice small yet quaint place to relax and sit and drink a good beer. Now all of these places also serve liquor, yet just wanted to highlight them to show that there is a big boost to Denton for beer lovers. Also, just be a little different and try some other ideas.

Also, If you wanted to take some home, try the Midway Mart off of Carroll, they have a great selection of beer and wine, also try Metzler's Barbeque for a great selection of beer and wine. Also, most Grocery  stores have some type of Brewers Pick 6 beer option, which is a great way to try new beers.

So get out there and try the great selections of beer and flavors along with the great seasonal beers.

The Sunday that Sleeps

I have been in bed and on the couch all day. I did clean, My kitchen is somewhat in order, along with my dirty clothes in my laundry. I have not been feeling up to doing anything.

Last night we went to Rocking Rodeo, Saturdays are free before 10p, with $1 single wells and $1.50 domestic longnecks. Country dancing is always fun, love to get around the dance floor.

After that we left to go to Crossroads where karaoke was happening and people tend to loose their inhibitions and get up to sing. Now I enjoy this, there is one guy normally there that does "New York, New York" and just has fun with it, I love seeing that someone can understand the true essence of karaoke and have fun no matter what. To those people that think you have to have this rock star voice, if you just have fun and entertain a crowd, it works much better. There are some that are good, there are some that are entertaining, but if you go to the right one, no one should criticize you for having fun.

Now also I did get out tonight and get all dressed up for my cousin's wedding. And just to put a little love in here, to Mark and Amelia, you both looked great and hope that all your dreams become reality together. Mark, thank you for always being a great friend and cousin. Amelia, welcome to the family, I hope you don't think my whole family is weird like I am, most of them are normal. And to the both of you, update your Facebook, you are married now.

Anyways, they decided to use the Wildwood Inn here in Denton, the place has a great feel to it, quaint, lovely, great service by the staff. You can have brunch there on Sunday if you are looking for something different and want a good meal, dress nice though, it is a little more upscale than most of the places I review. I am looking to go sometime just to have a different experience there.

So my weekend started with a good note and ended with good times with family, a man can't ask for much more.

And on that note, remember to tip your waitstaff and bartenders, they are working and sweating for you, so show some love.

School's Back from Summer!

Sorry, had to change it around a little. For all you Dentonites out there, there are some great places to go and things to do still, even on the weekend. I know that there are times that you get bored and tired of the same old routine, here are a list of interesting things you can do:

1. Check Midway Mart and find out how many different craft beers there are and try a new one out.. 
2. Go to Beth Marie's and make a new flavor out of what they currently have. 
3. Try the Guiness Ice Cream at The Abbey Inn
4. On Wednesdays, try to see if you can out sing and perform at Andy's with karaoke, on the main stage
5. Check out Metzler's on Londonderry for good Barbeque. 
6. Go to Riprocks and count how many cell phones there are on the wall. 
7. Check out RT's and see if you can find out the exact length of the bar. If you want an extra challenge, see if you can figure out the area. Plus, get some lunch there. Great food.
8. Find out which bar has the smallest bar. (I think I know this one)
9. Try one of the Taquillarias here in town.
10. See if you can get a message up on one of the Frenchy's Trucks.
11. Find out about the Morrison's Corn-Kits sign history. 
12.  Count how many businesses start and shut down in the Golden Triangle Mall 

This should give all you guys some extra things to think about this year and just some interesting tidbits about Denton, TX. And good luck to all the students, new and returning.
