The Genoa Bar (oldest bar in Nevada!)

and the J&T (best basque bar around = packed & wild Xmas eve, New years and carson valley days).

I had a meal at a Basque restaurant in Reno a number of years ago. I remember it being quite good, though I don't really remember any details about the meal. I don't think it was the one that you mentioned, though. We walked a number of blocks from downtown Reno. This was about 1996 or so.

Probably Louie's, a couple of blocks east of the main drag. Did you try a Picon, by any chance?

I think that was the place. Thanks for the reminder. I did not try that drink, though. I will try one next time I'm in a Basque establishment.

If you do, brace yourself! the first one's pretty terrible. The second's much better. The third, well, I have no recollection of what a third actually tastes like. tongue.gif

 

On the first one, I like to let the ice melt a little, to take the edge off.

I have to add the local golf club. The pro makes a wicked bloody mary, and the guys are great to hang out with. I just got back from 18 holes and a very drawn out 19th hole.

 

Here's to my wife, who's just amazingly tolerant of my time with the boys!

Back in the days that I used to frequent bars, I always enjoyed Vickery's Bar and Grill. They have the best international beer selection in Charleston and they also serve a fantastic Mahi-Mahi sandwich.

Jury's (named after the hotel in Dublin, Ireland) in Chicago. Awesome burgers there, too.

I stayed at that Hotel! ohmy.gif Never been to the bar though.

Louie's is the one jammed between the casinos, tucked away, right? It is pretty good, and Picon is one hell of an interesting cocktail.

 

I usually drink at home or at friend's places, but if I'm in a bar mood, Fritz's is okay, Shea's is better..love a good Irish bar with corned beef and cabbage.

 

 

Edit - It was bugging me because I knew Louie's wasn't right, and after some surprisingly difficult googling, the place I was thinking of is jammed behind Harrah's and is just called "Santa Fe Hotel Basque Family Style Dining" or something like that, and it's way better than Louie's.

None of your favorite bars actually want you there anymore.

Man, you are one angry drunk!

You haven't seen me when I am angry drunk.

 

You would know the difference if you had. Tonight, I am being a lighthearted joking drunk, and that was the spirit in which my comment was meant.

 

But you try my patience. Suddenly I feel the temptation to turn into a mean nasty drunk . . . .

 

Therefore, I will qualify my previous comment into a true statement that only applies to YOU.

Yep, just getting ready to start the hardest semester yet. laugh.gif

 

You should really try that place though, way better than Louie's.
