ON THE ROAD

Check out Four Peaks Brewery in Tempe at 1340 Eighth Street, right near the ASU campus. Their signature Kilt Lifter beer is excellent.

 

I'm headed up to Green Bay to cover the Frozen Tundra Hockey Classic at Lambeau.

If anyone has any suggestions for places to eat, drink, and stay in Green Bay and Milwaukee, let me know.

Thanks.

 

There's a really interesting spy bar in downtown Milwaukee. It's called the Safe House. You need a password to get in --- but no worries if you don't have it because the bouncer will be glad to, um, barter. Walking in --- especially first-timers --- is a memorable experience. The bar is full of all kinds of spy paraphernalia, incuding two-way mirrors in the bathroom --- meaning you can see out into the bar while you're doing your business in the bathroom. Kinda freaky.

As far as drinks go, much like any respectable college bar, Safe House features a "fishbowl"-type drink. For those unindoctrinated, these drinks are essentially XXXXXL long island iced teas, with all the same liquor, but flavored with Kool-Aid instead of coke/sour mix. They serve it in a fishbowl with about a dozen straws. The best way to drink it is with a table full of people passing it around, taking pulls --- aka bowl hits. Obviously, the smaller the group drinking, the more f***ed up you'll get.

The night I went to the Safe House I ended up swimming in that nasty, foul-smelling river that snakes through downtown. Let's just say the cops were not too pleased.

 

Tallahassee? I've heard nothing good.

Don't laugh, but does anyone know any good bars to go to in Pocatello? I'm heading over for state wrestling and if I have to hang out in such a god-awful place for three days then I might as well be drunk.

 

Alright, got the girlfriend coming out for a belated Valentines Day next week. I know a bunch of you are located in the New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania area so I need your help. This is my first chance to impress her with my thorough knowledge of romantic destinations in my backyard ... problem is I've spent all my time here chained to a desk and have no idea where anything is.

Now, take all the shots you want, but anyone that can give me some insight into some romantic destinations worth looking for would be greatly appreciated.

 

I've been to Pocatello a number of times and can't remember for the life of me any good watering holes. I've been told the Green Tee is decent (I think that's the name) and there are some places downtown worth hitting. Any trip I make to Poky, I was more concerned on ticking down the time to get out of there than finding "nightlife."

 

Heading to Washington, D.C., in a few days and would like some pointers on the Georgetown area. I've been to the district many times but have been meaning to try Georgetown for a while. This will be my first real chance.

Heading to spring training in Clearwater. Any suggestions?

 

Frenchie's is the spot from what I understand. I've not gotten out there yet, but the writer's I know rave about it.

 

Sirs, Madames,

I know this is off the beaten track but anyone have any idea where to go/stay in Belfast?
