a bar named sue

Right after we got out here, we heard about this local watering hole, A Bar Named Sue, and knew we'd have to try it.  Finally, over a year later, we did. 

Located in a strip mall near Nielsen's Frozen Custard, ABNS is a huge subterranean bar with free pool tables.  It's got an impressive number of taps, including twenty-five local microbrews; and an equally impressive selection of whiskeys: over twenty bourbons, eight Canadians and six ryes.  They also have a small dinner menu, average stuff, burgers and sandwiches.

We split a pitcher of - what else? - Full Suspension and each had a bacon cheeseburger.  The burgers were decently sized, although there was too much bun and the patties overcooked to my taste, and came with immense hand-cut seasoned fries which I liked but H thought were greasy.  The bill came to $31.00.

The place was fairly quiet when we got there around 7 p.m., but had begun to slowly fill up by the time we left.  It was fine and all but it's one of the few places we've found where we felt old.  I mean, we've been old in other bars we've found out here, but A Bar Named Sue was the first place we felt old.  Everyone was perfectly pleasant but it just wasn't our crowd.  We're glad to have checked it out - and if anyone is looking for a vast whiskey library, this is definitely the place to go - but we probably won't be back again anytime soon.
