The Casseroles Downtown Bar Tour

Our evening began at this wonderful Italian joint with the best pizza (and prices) ever! We ordered an antipasti tray overflowing with cheese, meat, veggies and dip, a fruit tray with the sweetest melon I've had all year, two mixed drinks, one carafe of Chianti that filled about 9 glasses of wine, and two medium pizza's. The bill came to a mere $65.00. What's not to love about that?

We then walked a few blocks to this little, over priced, hoity-toity bistro for a martini. While the cocktails were expensive they were also delicious.

GreenBean & Hamburger

Fiesta Pie, with Chocolatini

TaterTot's Limsickle Martini, with Andrew

We then decided to go play some pool at a local hall down the street when we encountered one of the most stunning women I have ever seen in the street, wearing head to toe red (literally). She asked where we were going and convinced us to step inside this small Itailian joint to hear some jazz. Best advice all night. We sat for awhile listening to a wonderful jazz trio and the smoky sounds of The Lady in Red's vocals, while enjoying a $6 pitcher of beer.

Green Bean with the GORGEOUS Deep Dish

TaterTot with The Lady in Red

With pool still on our minds, we headed down to State & Madison and rented a table. I lost every game I played to either Green Bean or Deep Dish...I blame the martini for being "off".

The Much Fuller Right...

(And I thought the word "right" would never be used in a sentence to describe Mrs. Bombadee.)

Thank you all for a great night. It started out crappy because of the spouse but you guys made it special for me. Surprised there was no mention of Bartender guy in poolhall. He was such a good sport putting up with us that I think he deserves a little recognition. The only problem is I can't remember his name. Joe? Anyway there was a poem written in his honor wasn't there?
