- I ordered a Black&Tan at what was actually a really nice Irish
- Pub-style restaurant. Fortunately, I asked how they made it for they
- normally make theirs with Guiness and (ack) Budweiser (double-ack,
- cough, cough). Can you believe that! And when they have Bass on
- tap??? I naturally made sure that my drink be made with Guiness Stout
- and Bass Ale (although Harp is also quite acceptable). I also
- suggested tha waitress tell the bartender to change his default
- recipe. Can you believe that this place would actually mix Guiness
- Stout with (gack) Bud?

- I don't recall the name of this restaurant. I really liked the place.
- It's in a more-or-less downtownish are of some suburban location, West
- and maybe a little South of Boston. I think it's near but not in
- Needam, maybe a little closer to Boston. I remember it being near or
- on some sort of canal or river or something. The place had great
- Irish food and a lot of atmosphere. I just can't believe the bad
- taste of their bartender.
