I had something to do last Friday which didn’t involve a bar and I decided that from here on in, I’m going to be taking Fridays off from going to a bar. I’ll be going to and posting about six bars a week, instead of seven. It’ll be a little break for all of us!
The Friday post goes up on Sunday, so I thought that from here on in, we’ll do a re-cap of where I went last week, put up a link to that post and publish a bonus photo that I took, but decided not to use for that post.
And so, here we go with the first Sunday Week in Rebrew!

Monday, Bar 85: Tangled Roots
On Monday, we put up our Saturday night dinner post. My friends and frequent guest stars, Amber and Joe joined me and we went to Tangled Roots in Washington, Illinois and ate at the bar and had a wonderful meal and evening.

I got a Caesar salad with my meal, but I didn’t publish this photo because I didn’t like the way the piece of lettuce was hanging over the plate. I could’ve Photoshopped it out of there, but we had plenty of food photos, so I left it out of the original post.

Tuesday, Bar 86: Sparkey’s RINGSIDE BAR & GRILL
Tuesday was a post of a bar I had never been in, Sparky’s Ringside Bar & Grill. It was a friendly place and I had a nice evening in there.
I was going to post this photo as further proof that Sparky’s is a Cardinal bar, but after looking at it, I didn’t like the way that it featured the ass of an umpire. So it didn’t make the cut.

Wednesday, Bar 87: Industry Brewing
For our Wednesday post, I went and had a couple of home-brewed beers at Industry Brewing in Pioneer Park.
This is a photo of some of the used kegs of their house-brewed beers. It didn’t make the post because the logo is blurred on the kegs and I thought it kind of made the entire photo look like it was blurry.

Thursday, Bar 88: Burnzee’s Bar & grill
I had a blast at Burnzee’s Bar & Grill in Brimfield! This is a super friendly bar and it was quite an enjoyable evening.
I took this photo and was going to caption it: “Here’s a shot of a shot for a shot.” I ended up having plenty of photos and didn’t put it up. But now, here it is!

Friday, Bar 89: Hammer’s Bar & Restaurant
I had a nice evening and a delicious taco dinner at Hammer’s Bar & Restaurant in Bartonville last week.
This is a photo of an upside down sheep hanging from the ceiling in Hammer’s. I didn’t post it because it made me feel off-balance looking at it and it still does! Am I the only one feeling this?

Saturday, Bar 90: The Bistro (In the courtyard by marriott
I had no idea there was a bar in the Courtyard by Marriott hotel on Main Street. I found out that here was, so I went and checked it out last Thursday evening.
Link: Bar Number 90: The Bistro (In The Courtyard by Marriott.)
I didn’t post this photo of this cooler because the lone bottle on the left was kind of sad and it bothered me that they had a sack in there on the right. I mean, whatever is in there, take that out and put it in the cooler and then throw that fucking sack away. Sheesh!
