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? http://www.gumbopages.com/food/beverages/picon-punch.html 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. On the first one, I like to let the ice melt a little, to take the edge off.

Slime Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 WaBar, because it has Western stuff in large supply. Makes sense, because that is what the bar specializes in doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Aubrey Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerxt1990 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Mahogany Cigar Bar. Top notch! My favorite name for a bar, for no apparent reason, was in London: The Tournament. Near Earl's Court.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
