On the Horizon: The Hay Merchant Craft Beer Bar
Houstonians who are already in love with the Prohibition-era cocktails served up at Anvil bar & Refuge are in for a treat. The brains behind Anvil – Kevin Floyd and Bobby Heugel, the bar’s co-owners – have announced their latest venture, set to launch in late fall 2011. The new craft beer bar “will be to craft beer what Anvil is to cocktails.” According to the press release sent out today, The Hay Merchant will be offering an extensive international craft beer selection...

Classic Cocktails in Style: Anvil Bar & Refuge
... when we first arrived in Houston my husband Josh and I were driving up Westheimer Road one afternoon and we passed a place called “Anvil bar & Refuge“. I pointed to the building and said, “Do you see that, honey? That is an awesome bar.” Josh asked, “How did you know? Did you read about it online or something?” and I said, “Nope. But just look at it – can’t you just tell?”
Eventually we made our way to Anvil and we have since spent...

Irish Pubs in Buenos Aires
... the first pub in downtown. The are several locations, but the one I like the most is the original one, the first one that opened, located in the barrio de Retiro (map). It is nothing fancy but in my opinion it is by far the best of the Irish pubs, or at least as much Irish as you are going to get in Buenos Aires. Many people come here after work for happy hour, to enjoy a beer or two or taste one of the more than 100 types of whisky. The menu offers a wide variety of international dishes from which...

Anvil Bar & Refuge: Smarter Than Your Average Cocktail
With the exception of hangovers, I love absolutely everything about cocktails, beer, and wine. I love bars, from the dive-iest dive to the classiest joint in town. To me, there is nothing better than pairing the perfect glass of wine with a meal to enhance both the wine and the food; the same goes for beer which, in my opinion, often pairs even better with food than wine. I’m willing to try anything once, and even if I know better I just might try it again. From the aperitif to the...

Artisanal Tequila Tastings in Condesa
Artisanal tequilas are shaping up to be the next big trend to hit bars and restaurants in major cities around the world including New York, Los Angeles and Mexico City. That according to a recent article published by Travel and Leisure which noted,
Artisanal Tequila Tastings at Hotel Condesa DF
“Artisanal tequilas are turning up on cocktail menus across the globe thanks to the arrival of small-batch, handmade bottlings such as Casa Dragones, a sipping tequila as crisp and clear as the etched crystal...

Meet Me at the Market Bar in Dublin
... sigh in annoyance if someone else arrives to join for a drink, a bite, or even just to say hello. In the city centre of Dublin, this is the Market bar. Original red brick walls and a warehouse interior provide the atmosphere, and a satisfying tapas menu provides the variety I crave.
The warm ambiance of Market bar is completed by wooden benches and tables, tall plants, and soft lighting. When you first walk into the bar off Fade Street, it is almost impossible for your mood to not be instantly lifted....

Combine History & Pints in Dublin
... Odeon.
The Irish are surrounded by history, and therefore it doesn’t excite them in the same way it might excite an American. Odeon is a bar & Grill (with somewhat of a cafe atmosphere during the day) that is in the Old Railway Station on Harcourt Street. The building has a real historical presence, and although I’d seen it many times, I assumed it has been transformed into a government building or a bank, not a great place to wait out a rainstorm on a Sunday afternoon.
The first...

Cantina Crawl: Salón Tenampa
... to Plaza Garibaldi, a popular destination for live mariachi music in the capital, I decided to check out Salón Tenampa, a well-known restaurant, bar and nightclub on the northern end of the plaza. The atmosphere inside Salón Tenampa differs from that out in the plaza and it’s definitely worth a visit. Grab a seat at the bar or in one of the tall wooden booths, order a few drinks from waiters in suits, listen to the mariachi bands, or better yet sing along, and take in the colorful scenery.
The...

Fine Wine, In Style
... I had to just have a little more dry Riesling than the first 4 ounces, because the taste of home was simply too tempting.
The Tasting Room wine bar model allows visitors to enjoy wines by the glass or bottle, or enjoy a full meal complete with wine that you can select with the help of their head chef and their sommelier. A “sommelier” is a trained wine professional, who in addition to being educated in wine and food pairing, is also in charge of selecting wines for sale, wine storage,...

Beer, Bistro, and a Bed at Sydney’s Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel
... pick, but there’s plenty of variety to suit all palates.
Variety is also the order of the day when it comes to The Lord Nelson’s eateries. The bar downstairs offers traditional pub fare, with chicken parmas, fish and chips, and a ploughman’s lunch. If you’re in the mood for something a little more up market, the brasserie upstairs is a winner. It serves up modern Australian cuisine like kingfish carpaccios, Himalayan fish curries, and flat roasted spatchcocks.
The accommodation combines...

Folk Art and Kitsch at Hosteria La Bota
Hosteria La Bota is a small bar and restaurant that opens onto a quiet pedestrianized street in the historic center of Mexico City. The exterior of the bar is simple, nothing more than a wooden sign and two large open storefront type entrance ways, but what makes Hosteria La Bota really unusual is the detail and decoration throughout the interior of the bar. Almost every inch of Hosteria La Bota, from the walls to the ceilings to the bar itself, is covered with folk art and kitsch.
Bullfighting...

Bavarian Fun in Sydney at the Löwenbräu Keller
It’s Oktoberfest all year at the Löwenbräu Keller, a bar and bistro which offers a traditional German experience right here in Sydney. This cool pub transports you to a Munich beer hall, complete with an oompah band and busty beer wenches!
Beer at the Lowenbrau Keller
As you’d expect, there’s also plenty of hearty food and amber fluid. I can’t go past the pork knuckles encased in crunchy golden pork crackling. They also serve up tasty Bavarian treats like schnitzel, spätzle, goulash, and...

Sugarcane Eco-Friendly Cocktails
Last week I attended the Grand Opening at Sugarcane, a new bar in Houston located at 1919 Washington Ave. (map). Sugarcane’s hook is “ECOcktails” – they serve organic liquors, grow produce on-site, and squeeze their own fresh juices for mixed drinks. According to their website they also plan on composting, using biodegradable products, and sourcing liquor and other ingredients locally through the Go-Texan local food movement. As a former bartender, and current lover...

Off the Beaten Path Bar in Dublin
Many first-time visitors to Dublin don’t make it much further than Temple bar when it comes to a night out. This is a shame though, because there are many bars across the city where visitors will be more likely to rub elbows with Dubliners and experience more authentic local atmosphere. One of the best places I’ve found is a bar right on the River Liffey, Sin É.
Translated from the Irish language as ‘That’s It’ Sin É (pronounced ‘shin-aye’) is a welcome...

School Bakery & Cafe: Perfect Report Card
... Toast. The pancakes come in a mile high stack and its hard to leave without visiting the bakery. I just tried the “kitchen sink” bar last week – it was beyond!
School is “in session” during the week as well and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner(only during patio season). Serving up old classics like Mac & Cheese, Meatloaf, Fish & Chips, Burgers – its comfort food at its best.
For the naughty kids – School schedules “Detentions”...

... in East Vancouver where you can meet up with friends, hang out, dine from delicious menus and listen to live music. Falconetti’s East Side bar & Grill is one of these popular venues in the heart of Vancouver’s historic ‘Drive’. It’s styled after a typical New York style cafe/lounge and it might look dark and crowded when you peer in through the door at the long bar area, but inside there’s another dining area adjacent to the small stage where you can...
