Sorry for the late post; I got caught up in running errands and such. And one thing that I noticed right away while running errands is that it's cold as hell outside. Winter hasn't officially kicked in yet, but it sure feels like it's banging on the door. Brrrrrr!
Yesterday was a pretty fun edition of BREW CREW SUNDAY. The early games brought about a laid back crowd, dominated by Philadelphia Eagles fans, gloating over the fact that the NY Giants were laying an egg all afternoon. There were some playful banter back and forth between the Eagles fans and the Giants faithful, yet at the end of the day, the Eagles fans had reason to celebrate as their team defeated Big Blue on their home turf, An ugly win for the Eagles, or an ugly loss for Big Blue. Take your pick.
One funny moment: This old codger came in, loaded up with newspapers and a big black journal book. He takes a seat at the end of the bar and orders a beer from BABY GIRL. As she grabs a pint glass to pour the beer, he begins barking orders at her. First he wants a plastic cup as opposed to a pint glass. Then he wants his beer poured a certain way. Then he wants this, wants that, yada, yada, yada. BABY GIRL looks at him like he has three heads and I whispered to her, "what does he want next, a straw?".
BABY GIRL gives the guy his beer and he spends the next hour or so running to all of the TV's and noting what's taking place in each game. It becomes very apparent that he's either a bookie or a degenerate gambler (or both). When he comes up to order his third beer, he says to me in a deadpan voice: "I'll take that straw now........... Just kidding." WTF? More on him later.
The 4pm games brought in more people, including the DOL-FANS, who came in force to check out the Miami-Buffalo game. At the same time, the Pittsburgh Steelers were scheduled to play against Dallas, so I was curious to see who would bring in the bigger crowd: STEELER NATION or THE DOL-FANS.
It became pretty clear right away that the DOL-FANS have taken over Third and Long. What was once mighty STEELER NATION has been reduced to splinters; a fractured die-hard few. I'd never thought I'd see the day when that would happen but hey, the numbers don't lie. DOL-FANS roll deep, and they only seem to get bigger and bigger each week.

Overall, it was a pretty good afternoon; both STEELER NATION and the DOL-FANS went home happy as their teams won their respective games. As for the old codger from earlier in the day, he ended up hanging out all day long (actually closed the bar); at one point he freaked out because he "lost" one of his newspapers. I guess it had some sensitive information on it and he scurried all over the bar looking for it.
While he was doing that, SCUBA STEVE, one of our bartenders who happened to come in for a few, played a gag on him. He wrote a note to him as if he were Santa Claus (in reference to his scribbling in his journal all day long) and told him that he knew that he was really there to check up on the patrons to see who was naughty and who was nice and that he really sucked as Santa Claus, or something to that effect.
The old codger found the note and seemed confused by it and kept bringing it up to BABY GIRL, while everyone around him were laughing hysterically. I guess you had to be there, though it was a priceless moment.
Don't forget about RECESSION MONDAYS and DOLLAR DRAFT MADNESS with the mugs ruling the night. Check our website for all of the great drink specials of the week. And if you haven't done so yet, check out the Brooklyn Dark Chocolate Stout. A nice pint for a cold winter night.

Where were all those Dolphin fans last year? What 1-15 and they hid in the closets? Hear that? That's the bandwagon, baby!
