Turkey day is upon us, and we all know that Thanksgiving dinner can be one of the most trying events of the year. It’s likely that you will have to venture out of the city, wear ridiculous things like a “sweater-vest”, and (worst of all) dine with people from multiple generations. A child at o...

We’ve become accustomed to reality TV shows where contestants are forced to drink worm juice. Disgusting – right? They didn’t even add any vodka before they smashed up those critters! We’re glad to see that LXTV has stepped up and given us the reality show that we’ve been waiting for: On t...

-There is hope for the new Hog Pit. We recently visited and came away worried about our beloved drinking sty. The manager and event planner of the bar got in touch, and let us know: When the original opened it was very "clean" & new looking. We expect that our customers will eventually give the ...

Barfly likes to dabble in old time class, but when a friend recently suggested we head over to The Plaza Hotel for some cocktails, we shuddered. Surely they didn’t mean drinking tea and eating miniature sandwiches? They gently explained themselves: the recently renovated Plaza contains new haunt T...

Being frugal can be very challenging. The other day, we were down to our last $11.00. We just spent the rest of our cash on $5 Foot Longs. We’ve figured out that if rationed properly, 6 subs can feed us for 7.2 days. We had to decide on a drinking strategy that put the rest of our funds to good...

-Hooters Restaurants, inspirited by the public’s growing interest in politics, has passed the Hooters Economic Stimulus Package . Their bill promises $1 Domestic drafts all day. It passed on a strictly party-line vote, with conservatives voting “nay” and liberals voting “fuck-yeah”. -To pr...

- After months of hostile negotiations, Anheuser Bush and InBev have sat down at a friendlier table . The American brewer agreed to talk of selling after InBev increased their offer to $35 / share and, more importantly, said “pretty-please”.  -Blog Feud! – Fellow-enablers Down by the Hips...

Barfly was so scarred by our recent trip to Dave and Busters that we thought drinking and gaming would be forever ruined. We didn’t want to have a dance dance revolution – why did they keep trying to make us? At the very moment when we were about to pledge never to have “fun” while drinking ...
