Night 4: MacDougal Ale House, Off the Wagon, Slane, Peculier Pub
I met Funkiwan again and we decided to try the bars on MacDougal. We started with the MacDougal Ale House. The atmosphere here was suits and fratboys. The decor was way too sports bar, though they have darts in the back which can be okay. My $6 vodka tonic had a weird aftertaste that made it pretty much undrinkable and I had to bring it back and get a new one which was fine. The only positive thing about this place was the bartender who besides fixing me a new drink no problem was pretty cute.
Next we went to Off the Wagon. Walking into here it was obvious that this was a place to meet drunk college girls. The floor was sticky with spilled beer, there were tables for beer pong, and people were ordering shots and drinking liter beers. One cool thing was that music was being played by a vj not a dj, she actually had all music videos and they would come up on some of the TV screens at the bar. That was a pretty sweet set up. I got a bourbon and water while Funkiwan got a $5 vodka tonic which was weak. There were a couple of cute people at the bar, but not many. Dead tonight.
Slane on MacDougal near Bleecker is a little bit upscale looking bar which clashed with the guy and guitar singing classic rock tunes. It was not very crowded, my $6 vodka tonic was average, but a large fraction of the ladies in the bar are really attractive. They seem to be there with older guys in suits, but it's fun to watch them getting drunk and acting dumb.
Our last stop is the Peculier Pub on MacDougal. We walk all of Houston looking for a bar, but everywhere is totally dead. The Peculier Pub has a small crowd and the longer we are there the better it gets. My $5 vodka tonic is excellent, barely any tonic, the best one I've had so far. Our server Sarah tells us that they get stronger and stronger as the night progresses. Our server is very helpful and cute and a good number of cute (if young) people come into the bar while we are there. This is a good bar for rowdy drinking and talking with young'ins.
