Barfly Link: Keggers of Yore

Filed under: Links by Girl Wonder

A friend just sent me this link to Keggers of Yore, a hilarious collection of party picture from days gone by. It has all of our favorite elements: bad hair, bad fashion and lots and lots of booze.
Got a great boozy link? Submit it in the comments!

Submit your Favorite Bartender ~ Ladies!

Filed under: Hot Bartenders by Girl Wonder

Here at the Barfly, we looooove our bartenders, especially when they’re fun, flirty and good-looking. We love them so much, we are dedicating a whole page just to the sexy-fine bartenders of SoNaMa Counties!

Advice from Real Simple Really Sucks

Filed under: Rant by Girl Wonder

Imagine my surprise when reading the September issue of Real Simple magazine and I came across this advice in an article about tipping, “If I get bad service at a restaurant, should I still tip? Based on a standard tip of 15 to 20 percent for average to excellent service, tip perhaps 12 percent,” advises [...]

Russian River Brewing Company

Atmosphere: PacNW Brewery Meat Market
Clientele: Teeming throngs of beer-only drinkers
Spirits: Beer and its cousins

Rant: Exacting Standards

Filed under: Rant by Girl Wonder

or Why I’m Such a Bitch
Did you know that being a waiter (used in the non-gender specific way, like actor or author) used to be a profession and not just a way-point on the path of becoming something else? It is the same with being a bartender. Once people actually trained for these jobs and [...]

A Bitter Pill at the Sweet Spot

Filed under: Live Music, Pub, Santa Rosa, Sonoma County by Girl Wonder

Atmosphere: Sports-Pub
Clientele: Refreshingly over the age of 22
Spirits: Beer and its cousins
Staff: Bored
Let’s just jump right in with what pissed me off from the get-go. First of all, as you may have already gathered, your dedicated servant (that’s me) doesn’t drink beer. This means when I go to places that only have a beer and [...]

Atmosphere: Homey Hippie-Hipster Brewhouse
Clientele: People who wear Tevas, Crocs and Birkenstocks.
Spirits: Extensive beer menu, limited cider offerings, smallish wine list. No hard stuff.

Why Hopmonk Can Suck It

Filed under: Brewery, Live Music, Pub, Restaurants, Sebastopol, Sonoma County by Girl Wonder

Tuesday Happy Hour was getting a little crowded for my taste over at Jasper O’Farrell’s on Tuesday so my date and I headed over to Hopmonk to enjoy some cocktails in their beer garden. Now I ask myself, “what the hell did you do that for?”
The first face you see when you walk in the [...]
