Outing #35: Felix the Dog
Pub/Bar: Brendan Behan's (Jamaica Plain, MA)
Day/Date: Tuesday, January 24th
Trivia Jockey: Jennifer.
Crowd: Not much to say here. Pretty much the same as last week. The people there are quite nice, and the couple sitting next to us was a little chatty toward the end of the night. I like when people are chatty and neighborhoody at these places.
Food/Drink: The Chinese food from across the street was excellent. I went a little overboard on eggroll ordering, though. They were the largest eggrolls I've ever seen, and I ordered 6 of them. Tonight we used our gift certificate from the previous week. $25 bought us 2 glasses of shiraz, 4 Miller Lites and 2 Harpoon I.P.A.'s. Not bad.
Ambience: One thing that is nice about this place is that it is dog friendly. It is really quite adorable to see some of these dogs up sitting on the barstools next to their owners. The one thing I don't like about this place is the paucity of tables and table-like objects. Basically, a good portion of the bar is just benches, which means there's nowhere to put your drinks or food.
Notable Events: There was this lady at Behan's that looked *exactly* like the character 'Superstar' from Saturday Night Live. She even *talked* like her. It was kind of creepy. Superstar's dog totally wanted to be on our team.
Although we didn't technically win a prize, the bartender was under the impression that we were part of the 2nd place team and were therefore entitled to a free round of drinks and promised us the same as we left the bar. So, I think the next time we go to Behan's we may be drinking for free, albeit somewhat underhandedly.
