New Local Spots

Utilizing coupons from Living Social, Groupon and Scout Mob  Eric and I, along with some friends, have been on a find-awesome-new places kick.  And of course, because we get half-off or more, it's been relatively affordable to enjoy all the sites (and bars) Atlanta has to offer.

We found Ormsbys mostly via Twitter and other beer drinking friends.  This place has Southern Comfort food by some semi-well known chef, a well rounded draft menu, and then.... the atmostphere feels like you're in someone's basement or cabin.  Wooden tables for board games, shuffle board, darts, skee-ball, photo booth, karaoke, and two indoor faux grassed bocce courts.  We snagged a booth and played Jenga for a good two hours.  The Saturday night wait for bocce was a little long - hopefully we'll be back on an early week night to snag a court for a game or two.

 Via a Living Social coupon, Rosemary and I snagged two buy $15 get $30 worth of food and drinks at a  place called Young Augustine's.  Here they feature two outdoor bocce courts, a decent beer menu and ridiculously funky foods.  We played a few games of bocce and headed in for a snack and trivia.  Some how we placed second in trivia, which scored us $20 for a return visit.  We also only used one of our $30 gift certificates because the food, while amazing, was so cheap!  Guess we'll have to go back.  Darn!

My 100th Beer at Taco Mac

In a grand tradition among friends, I had to choose a cheap beer for my 100th at Taco Mac.  We typically save PBR for our 125, which is the number that gets us into the Brewniversity Bachelor's "degree" (read 16 oz beer for the prize of a 12)
