Beer Tubes At Pearl Street Brew Pub
OK, how come these things weren't around when I was in college? Who know, maybe they were... just not anywhere I ever ventured to. Times change, and with time so does the way people drink beer. The first time I ever walked into Pearl Street Grill & Brewery and saw these beer tubes I was stoked. Unfortunately I did not have my camera with me, so this past Friday we went back to capture the 'amazingness' on film. Fortunately we found some early afternoon beer drinkers who were just finishing a 100 ounce tube of Pearl Street Train Wreck. That's 100 ounces served right to your table where all of a sudden you (the customer) takes over. Yup, you become your own ‘beertender’.
The closest thing that I ever got to this type of self-service was at Brick Bar when the bartender would (the old days) uncap a case of OV splits, dump some ice into the case, and hand it to you over the bar. That was pretty cool... especially when your friends showed up and you could dole out the booty as the night progressed. We have been told that Pearl Street is the first brewpub in WNY to start serving the beer tubes (or beer bongs as I prefer to call them). A tube of house brews runs $20.50, and a seasonal can reach $25. Skip the pitchers and go for "100 oz. of happiness" at Pearl Street beer.
Thanks to (above) Jillian, Brad, Teresa and Danny for spending their sudsy Friday at the Pearl Street Grill & Brewery - 76 Pearl Street in Buffalo. 716-856-2337

Gimme a (coffee) break
With the opening of more and more coffee houses downtown, some people wonder if Buffalo is really a coffee town. Buffalo is the original coffee town!
The "coffee break" which is taken for granted as a standard part of any work day has only been around for about a hundred years. Coffee culture has continued to flourish in this country and the espresso boom of the Pacific Northwest in the 1990s has seen to it that every other gas station in America now has a barista on staff.

Sea Bar-City
It's great to see stylish, hip, new restaurants pop up downtown such as Sea Bar on Ellicott Street, which specializes in contemporary Japanese food. A clean ultra-modern space, Sea Bar’s dining room is quaint and inviting. The sleek sushi bar has counter seating and the wet bar, with beer, sake, and wine, has at least 10 sakes to choose from on any given night. We were happy to try a Sojitio, a sake mojito, which had the right amount of mint without too much sweetness.

Dinosaur Stalks Buffalo!!
Ten years ago, the downtown of My Fair City was forever altered when a Big Dinosaur appeared on the scene. Thankfully—unlike 1950’s Tokyo—when this dino showed up our downtown wasn’t flattened, but considerably improved. Dinosaur Bar B Que, a restaurant that originated in downtown Syracuse in the 1980’s, planted its foot in downtown Rochester in 1998. It was an instant hit—it’s common to have a line waiting to get in at all times. And it’s clearly Hog Heaven— … - Nov 21st 2008, 9:05am

I believe they have such things at Coles, as well...
In fact, I believe there is possibly a post in the archives which contains a photo of you, me, and some others, posing with one.
