My first foray into the bar scene happened last night. I got a text from my boss saying that there was a group going out to partake in an "adult beverage" and asked if I would like to join them. I agreed whole-heartily and was told to meet them at "The Tasting Room" off of South Alabama street.
The Tasting Room is an impressive wine bar. The folks there were very helpful and knowledgeable about their product. Although a bit pricey, it is a very nice place to meet. One side note... they give you a set of shot glasses and water in a clear bottle. What immediately popped in my mind was Zorba the Greek and doing shots of ouzo. Been there, done that...sent chills...
After a glass of a very good Chardonnay, it was suggested that we mosey on over to the South Alabama Ice House for a beer. Now evidently this place is a Houston icon. It is basically an outdoor beer garden that does not have air conditioning. It is called an ice house because they used to put blocks of ice in front of the fans to cool down the patrons in the summer. Fun place. Had a bottle of a local brew and headed out.
So I head home and remember that I have not eaten supper. For some ungodly reason, a burger sounded good to me and there is a 5 Guys Burger place right by my home. I love their burgers. Unfortunately, I am not 25 and eating one of their burgers with a large fries fifteen minutes before going to bed is not the wisest of decisions. But man... it tasted good.
