Old Friends

This past Saturday night was the First Quarterly Garden Home Reunion at the Old Market Pub. After getting on Facebook for a while and reconnecting with a lot of old friends from grade school, we thought it would be fitting to try and have a reunion. We reached out to everybody we could find and set a date. While our first get together wasn't huge, it was fun. Lulu Tufts... Kelly Murphy... Pat Freeman... Amy Gresbrink... Mindy Giedt... all those names and faces showed up. We had a couple no shows, a few who had to bail out in the final week, and some who just live too far. But, it seemed to generate some interest, and after we had an evening of sharing stories and a lot of laughs, we decided to make this a quarterly thing. So, keep your eye out for some sort of announcement about another get together in January...

Gapfest Coming Sooner Than You Think. Be There!

After a three year hiatus, Gapfest returns with a new format in honor of our 35th Anniversary!

ROLLBACK SPECIALS: Do you remember how much a pint of Widmer Hefeweizen was in 1987? How about the price of our famous Beef & Blue in 1989 or the price of a glass of wine in 1991? Well we do! We can even tell you when a cup of coffee was only a buck! We’ve scoured our menus from the last 20 years, recreated some of our favorite oldies, and are dropping prices all week long for this special event!

So mark your calendar, check out the music, and come down and enjoy the comfort of our “old place” while taking a bite out of the past with one of our daily old time classic features at ridiculously low rollback prices!!

Attention Young Beer Drinkers

I feel compelled to let you know that most of you are idiots.

When you walk into the bar and order your beer, do not complain if the bartender pours a head on your beer. He's SUPPOSED to. A bartender who does not pour a head on the beer is either ignorant, or scared of you.

Pouring a head on a beer releases and activates the true flavors of a beer. It's just like when you pour a glass of wine you swirl the wine around to open it up. That's essentially what that head is doing.

You young kids are going to force it so that bartenders of the future won't even know what a head is and think it's some sort of accident. Learn how to drink beer before you start bitching about things you don't understand. If you want to drink beer inappropriately, drink Budweiser or Coors Light, but don't ruin my craft beers.

To you youngin's who understand what I'm talking about, keep up the good work.
