Our second Drinking Liberally went well last night. It was held at the Bulkeley House in New London, in the “Ice House”, which we liberals had all to ourselves. A few pictures, starting with a look at the facilities prior to the start of the festivities:
A couple of crowd shots:
A not so crowded shot, of folks deep in conversation about weighty political issues (or not):
And finally, Audrey Heard showing off her Iphone:
Now we have to decide between the Ice House and the Harp and Hound as a permanent place to go. The pros and cons:
Ice House: Pros
Better food, more conveniently located between Waterford and Groton, better facilities, less likely to fill up with non-liberals as the evening wears on.
Cons: Relatively poor selection of beers on tap, perceived as being in dangerous location. This is actually not true as the parking lot is an extremely short walk from the entrance.
Harp and Hound Pros
Great Beer Selection, conveniently located for Groton residents who prefer not to cross the bridge.
Cons: Irish pub food (need I say more); relatively cramped quarters.
Those who’ve attended the first two sessions WILL BE POLLED on a permanent location. Whatever the ultimate choice I hope we can keep it going. People seemed to have a good time, judging by the fact that most of them stayed pretty late.
