Otherlands Coffee Bar
What I Loved: I'm pretty fond of Otherlands across the board. It's down the street from my casa, they brew a good cup of coffee and they provided me with countless hours of wireless when my apartment was woefully without the internet last fall. They have a great deck and they've got a decent line up of musical choices on any given weekend. Mr. RB and I were there to hear Julie Odell, a singer-songwriter gal who plays piano (while her husband plays guitar and they're so cute it makes you believe in the possibility of true hipster love).
Why You Should Get Drunk There: Well, maybe you shouldn't. I mean, you could. Technically speaking. They serve beer, and though it's all bottled they have a nice selection -- I sampled a Fat Tire as seen above, and the PBR was the property of Mr. RB -- but it's kind of a mellow place for the whole "gettin' DEE-RUNK" kind of drinking. It's more of a place for the one or two beers, chill out, watch a band, have an in-depth existential conversation kind of drinking. Be cool like Fonzi. That kind of thing.
After getting rained on and rained out last time around, the first Project: Patio meet-up has been rescheduled for this Thursday, May 27, still at Raffe's Beer Garden on Poplar. We'll be there from 7 til 9 p.m., so come join us and sample a tasty brew outdoors!
cheers,
