As I've previously stated, I'm not a big beer drinker. I tried, I really did. It's just not for me at all. I'm always down for sour, not so much for bitter. Ume Shiso is as close as I get, and that's a more pickled taste than anything else.That being said, I guess you can barely count my Salzburger Stiegl Radler as a "beer," as it is Grapefruit Soda with a small amount of beer. However, that being said it's my new summer beverage. It's just like a slightly boozy Grapefruit soda. I had my second one with tequila, and that made it really awesome. I pretty much agree on all counts with this guy.
I had said summer beverage Monday night while meeting some awesome new people (and one terrible one) at The Foxy Olive.
The first time I went to the Foxy Olive, it was a Friday night, and it's a really small bar. I got really claustrophobic and decided to escape to the bathroom so as to not freak out. I flipped the light switch in the bathroom and proceeded to freak out as I saw the half mannequin standing in the corner. For a split second my brain just went straight to horror movie. Needless to say, it wasn't a great time for me. I didn't drink anything, and we left soon afterwards.
This time it was a Monday night, and much less busy. Which is actually a little sad, since it is closing at the end of this month. I would suggest going and giving this dive bar a great send off. A great guy owns it, and my friend Ali will be tending bar on non-busy Monday nights.
Just don't let that bathroom mannequin scare you. It's quite harmless once you get to know it.
