IC Bar Hop

[ThorneStockton]

I just got back to IC and have today and tomorrow until xmas commitments begin. I figured a little downtown bar hop would be a great way to pass the time. Make individuals suggestions or plan a route.

Tentative plan:

- Deadwood for a warm up, and cross the street to
- Dublin Underground as it's been at least a few years, round the corner to
- Joe's Place, usually make at least one stop here every time I'm back in IC, a little popcorn before hoofing it over to
- Club Car to see who I still recognize and cap it off


Any relatively new places that are worth a stop? Looking at Google Maps, never heard of Wild Culture, looks ok. I like Arcade Bars and Double Tap is alright.

Sams?

Swing into Petland and look at puppies.

 

[ThorneStockton]

Sams?

Bringing home pizza has a lot of upside

 

[Huey Grey]

Come into Dick Blicks. I'll draw your you know what.

 

[HawkMachine]

A bar hop?

Are you 22 or a grown ass man?

What do you call the proposed activity? I usually call it 'having a few' but wanted to make sure the intent to make multiple stops was clear.

If you haven't seen the Iowa City Big Grove yet, that's fun, but outside of downtown, and much better in the summer.
Sam's is great. Otherwise, the one's you mentioned are the one's you'd want to visit.

The Big Gove is great, I'll save that for better weather or a bigger group. We almost always get a Sam's pizza delivered every time I'm back. So delivering it myself might be the play.

Nice itin. Spent a fair bit of time at the first three during the college years but were not the regulars. Somehow have never been to Fox Head, so that's tempting.

I always preferred their calzones. Sausage, onion, and mushroom with a side a ranch. Ate a lot of them in college. It would probably just make me bloated now

They were great, but grease bombs, in a similar way to Falbos. Delish at the time though.

 

[ThorneStockton]

Will be at the old pints looking for a tussle in a couple of hours

Because I'm older and not looking for FAC anymore, I'd say Vue Rooftop. I'm more into comfort and relaxing than cheap and getting F'd up

You're and old school drunk. Whiskey sipper and a beer chaser. Soon you'll switch the whiskey for Dr McGillicuddy's Menthol

Hybrid drunk. Shot and a beer setup for the first round. Especially at a bar like Deadwood. Switch to draft 'good' beers at the next stop.

I can assure you the Menthol or any other schnapps will not make an appearance. If I see Malort or Fernet Branca, that could do it!

 

[fredjr82]

Malort

I had a weekend one night with this shit. Tastes like a dirty dishrag

 

[The-Dude-Abides]

I always like Sanctuary, although it's been a ghost town the last few times I've been there.

 

[drew_hawk]

Can't believe no one's mentioned George's yet.

 

[ThorneStockton]

Welp, as it always happens, not according to plan. Made the Deadwood, Joe's and Sam's.

Now it's just Blick. The dick left long time ago 😉

Wondering what it's called too for us old farts Your plan actually sounds fun. It's probably been at least a solid decade since I've gone downtown for a few. Pretty sure my last stop would end up being whatever that bar down by the train tracks on Maiden Ln goes by now

Let me know which of those places you see my kid at. Start at Gabe’s

It’s good for dinner, but there can be some giant douches at the bar. Are you the type that sits there with your hair slicked back talking about all the deals you made that day? A lot of dressed up hoors some nights.

 

[Doodads and Hoohah]

It was just going to say he needs to start with the cheeseburger at George's

Agreed.

Don't be so homely next to you go in. Hey shooter, we just landed!

Should we tell the OP he’s an old, now, and going to college bars wearing the letterman’s jacket isn’t as cool as he thinks? Sounds like he was in by 8 pm.

Letterman's jackets are perpetually cool and yeah, I hung it up by 8pm. It's finals week, not a time to go crazy.

The pizza was excellent btw
