| - Rarely do I wait in lines. It's not that I'm above it*, I just have found very few places that warrant a queue snaked around the corner like the one we experienced at Peel Pub.
Anyway, when we finally made it in (and after a group of girls tried to unsuccessfully "chat and cut" their way into our spot in the line), I was shocked to find that this was a sit-down, wait-service affair. You see, we had been told this place was a pre-game spot known for their cheap shooters. And at 0,99$ a pop on Thursday nights, this fact could not be contested. But, really, when is the last time you waited in line to sit down and indulge in some super-sugary, half-sized Robitussin-like shots? Seriously, these things were tiny, syrupy, and I'm doubtful they did anything in the drunk department. If these gimmick shooters aren't worth the 0,99$ on special, they certainly aren't worth the 2,99$ regularly. My 6,99$ cocktail (I believe it was a Brandy Alexander, but who can really be sure?) tasted similarly medicine-esque, but at least you could tell you were drinking alcohol.
Granted, our Peel Pub experience was devoid of any appointment sports viewing that particular evening, which appears to be the bar's bread and butter. Well, that, and catering to chair-dancing college co-eds who believe they're getting sloppy off of shitty shooters. Right. Let me dial it back a notch. It's got a lot of TVs. And when sports are being shown on said TVs, I'm guessing this place is most likely a good alternative to your couch. Except I'm also guessing there isn't a line outside your front door for a spot on your couch. But who knows? You (or your couch) could just really be that popular.
I digress. So, there's an upstairs to Peel Pub, and apparently an outdoor patio as well. But when the first floor wasn't doin' it for us, we didn't bother to investigate further, we just headed out into the night. I mean, what's a supposed pre-game joint good for if it fails to get you good and drunk? Man, do my colleges years feel further and further away from me or what?
*I'm above it.
