The holidays is usually seriously downtime for me so I try to hit a few pubs that are normally out of my normal routine. Perfect for scouting the scene for LITP.
Friday in between Christmas and New Years is a great time to get out and usually there are bowl games in town bringing visitors to the local bars for more flavor. Such was true on a Friday afternoon at Steamhouse Lounge. Best bisque in town and a great place for a local beer.
I proceeded to the upper bar, I always feel it's more fun, and luckily it was pretty packed for barely passed lunch time. I wasted no time getting my bisque and beer and could tell right away the bartender would be fun.
Apparently it was a bar full of Oklahoma Sooners and he was having fun showing them some Southern Hospitality via a few special drinks, some shots and A LOT of football talk. I fit right in!
Before long, the beers are flowing, we all share a shot and start debating who goes in the Hall of Fame first, Matt Ryan or Phillip Rivers. An incredibly interesting comparison, by the way, if you want to google it. I absolutely adore when you can kick it with total strangers, share a few drinks, dap it up goodbye and wish each other well.
According to the bartender, Friday Happy Hours are always happening so I feel a little Friday afternoon adventure in my future in the new year. Promising LITP interest.
I will be taking LITP on the road again shortly so until then, Happy New Year!
