6th Annual East Nashville Pub Crawl 2011

First Stop - Red Door Saloon

It was about 5:30 p.m.; we were able to get a table, drink a couple of drinks, and even take the below pictures. This pub was decorated with Chicago Cub memorabilia, a few Tennessee Titan tickets and such, and just a few Chicago Bear items.

Then you see the skeletons hanging on the ceiling with women's bras, skeletons on the wall and in glass cabinets. You also see all kinds of signs everywhere.

I think this was Robin's favorite pub; when she went to get a picture of the pub crawl sign for me, one of the ladies in the back tried to ask her out.

Robin

Penny & Robin

"Me and My Sis - Love this Picture"

Look at these Skeletons!

Signs on the Ceiling and the Bar - Mosy on up the Bar for a Cold One

At the end of the bar, there was a machine that you could pour shots so they are cold. They were only $5 each, and they were changing those upside bottles all the time.

Pictures on the wall

"Wonder if the below picture is a real restaurant?"

Surely this is the owners vehicle.

Second Stop - 3 Crow Bar

There were several tables and chairs beside the windows but they had taken the chairs and tables out of the middle to get more people in. Standing room only. We didn't stay here too long, there were not enough bartenders to accomodate the customers. You had to stand in a very long line to get a drink.

Red Bull bar on the left and their regular bar on the right as you walk in. Didn't have much decoration due to all the windows.

Third Stop - Batter'd & Fried

We thought we would eat at this stop, drink a green beer, and rest a little. We were able to get a high top outside. The breeze was blowing; it wasn't too hot, and people were bringing their puppies to eat with them. So cute!

Green Beer

Robin & Jim Penny & Richard

Jim ordered fish & chips; his chips/fries came in this paper bag with the restaurant logo on it, and Richard, Robin and I had chicken chili. It tasted good.

When we were leaving at 7 p.m. (the starting time of the pub crawl), more people were starting to arrive!

Fourth Stop = Drifters

This was a smaller pub; most of the seating was outside, and they had some live entertainment and ping pong tables. We went inside; there was a very nice manager and staff.

Their menu had the story of the first motorcycle on it; interesting, and probably a biker bar.

Decor

Fifth and Last Stop on the Pub Crawl - Beyond the Edge

Everywhere was getting so crowded by this time; Robin, Jim and Richard purchased their green beer, and we stood outside in their seating area until it got so crowded that you were standing back to back. Then we decided to leave.

Their decor was similar to Drifters.

Us Leaving our First St. Patrick's Day Pub Crawl

We think Beyond the Edge, Drifters and Batter'd & Fried were probably connected somehow. Drifters and Beyond the Edge sold the same shirts, and Batter'd & Fried used Drifters ice.

We do need to go back to Drifters or Beyond the Edge to try their barbeque; everyone said that we should try it, because it was so good. It smelled delicious!

We all had so much fun at the pub crawl; we'll have to do it again next year, but I'll remember a these things next year. Arrive early and go to each pub, that way you get to see the pubs atmosphere without the crowds, take pictures, buy a t-shirt or even eat. Then go back to the pubs a second time to have fun with all people.

Hope everyone had a nice St. Patrick's Day; I sure did, and if you're wondering where I got that amazing hat. Sheree, a friend from work, gave it to me. She was wearing it; thought she would discuss it with a few people, and they voted I should wear it. The shamrock on the top flashed; that's the way Robin could always find me, and that flashing didn't stop until Monday morning.

Thanks Sheree, the Hat was a Winner!
