It wouldn't be a bad idea to also drop dates of bands playing at bars in here.

This being "The Pub" and all. What about Sticky'in this and the Beer Thread. No?

Used to hang at the urban bar for happy hour and I want to say they had 2 pints and 1/2 price booze. I have not been in a while so things might have changed.

Parkside Grill has happy hour just about everyday until about 10:00 I believe and they have half priced appetizers (if you sit in the bar area)... :unsure:

Then you have Rookies with the smallest happy hour wings in town right down the road from there if you want to be more casual.

We have one here in Chatt but the beers are way expensive. A Taco-Mac that is.

That is because they have some exotic imports that are in bottles.

The draft beer prices seemed pretty reasonable... not happy hour reasonable, but not egregiously expensive.

4 dollars for a draft beer is not reasonable IMO. I have done the exotic import thing for a while and they are as expensive, if not more, as other trendy chains like the Flying Saucer. I miss the original Spicey's on the strip next to the electric wizard. That was a great beer collection for its time.

I did their beers of the world list my last year in college. Good times.

must be similar to the Flying Saucer.
yeah but this was wayyy before that place was a thought. Spicey's was the only place in town that had a large import beer selection. That place was awesome. I made it "around the world" as well Vader. As for the saucer, I got close to the ring of honor and moved from Nashville.

Decent, but wildly overpriced.

yep. Not a bad starter bar to kinda whet the pallet. Of course, it does put you within a block of Backdoor Tavern or whatever behind Patrick Sullivans. You can get any beer on tap there so long as it's PBR.

Downtown Bar and Grill is generally my downtown destination. 1.50 pints on Tuesday and 3.00 for a pint any other day isn't bad.

Cherokee Red Ale on tap and either the Maryland crab cakes or the Prime rib in the lower level of the Copper Cellar is always a good call.

if it's me, and the English pub feel is what i want, i'm heading over to Union Jack's on the corner of Kingston Pike and Northshore.

i'm sure the selection at Union Jack's trumps The Crown and Goose as well.
