Well, my credit card statement tells me I was at the Essen Haus on Saturday.
I have a blurred version of the night that goes something like this...
1. Good and buzzed, Annie and friends move the party to the Essen Haus for boots. According to the credit card statement, they cost about $25 each.
2. Annie wakes up the following morning, with a 1/2 eaten slice of Ian's Pizza on the nightstand.
3. Annie and friends return to the Essen Haus to claim left credit cards and a Men's Warehouse sport coat (complete with boutonniere still attached to the lapel from a wedding). Oh, and to eat breakfast next door at the Come Back In.
That's pretty much how most trips to the Essen Haus have gone for me, but here are some tips for a successful time here:
-Don't get any food. I had dinner here once with my parents and it was awful.
-Dance. Polka. Go on, get out there.
-Be good to the staff. They have to handle some of the drunkest people in Madison on a regular basis.
-Toe up. In more ways than one.
