Mmmmmmm...

Friday night! Oh yes.

Tonight we went out for a birthday eve dinner with our friend Bill who is having a big birthday tomorrow. (We are going to New York with him next Saturday to celebrate for real!) We decided to try a place we'd never been before, the Side Street Grille here in Hamden. It's a great place for burgers, ribs, and beer!

They had about twenty beers on tap. I had a Young's oatmeal stout, which was so smooth and sweet that it was almost like a dessert. The head on it was the consistency of the foam on a cappucino, no lie. Primo beer. I also had a hamburger (the black jack burger, if you look at the menu).

The atmosphere's not much to write home about (it's mostly a bar), but the menu made us laugh out loud (some of the humor is on the web menu too), and the music was great. We were there probably an hour and a half and never heard a song we didn't like.

All in all, a successful and entertaining evening!
