Beer Hunter Sports Pub & Grill (La Quinta, California U.S.A.)

Beer Hunter Sports Pub and Grill, 78-483  Hwy 111, La Quinta California, U.S.A.  Nice bar in a nice shopping mall.   It has a huge sit-up bar that seats some where around 35 people and kind of meanders around.  In the middle is a sunken area called "The Pit", which has 2 pool tables and some arcade games and a TV.   There is lots of sports memorabilia on the walls and ceiling, including 50 PGA golf bags hanging from the ceiling. They were pretty cool though! There is a full size shuffle board n the left as you enter. I was unable to find out the story on them.  There are around 40 TV's through out the bar.  They have 8 booths and lots of seating through out.  There are also 2 other pool tables that they an also turn in to large tables for functions.  For lunch we had the El Jefe's Fish Tacos (battered cod, cabbage, serrano garlic sauce, cheese and pico.)  There were two of the tacos and they were huge with lots of fish.  They came with fries or tater tots or salad.  they were very good.  Also we had the Patty Melt (8 oz home made patty, grilled onions, grilled rye bread with Swiss cheese) and same side options.  It too was very good.  They have an extensive menu too!  As for beer, they have 27 different ones on tap and they are listed on a large TV like display board.  A decent wine selection helped too.  Service was nice and friendly. We enjoyed it here.  The present owners bought it about one year ago.

17 Mile House Pub (Sooke, British Columbia, Canada)

17 Mile House Pub,  5126 Sooke Road, Sooke British Columbia, Canada   www.17milehousepub.com  This is  great pub recommended to me by by Nephew and he sure came up big on this one!!  Located right on the highway (Ok it is about 4 feet from the highway or 1.2192 meters).  It is called 17 mile because it is 17 miles from City Hall in Victoria.  In 1894 travelers heading to Leech Town to heck their gold claims would check in here for the evening.  If and when you go to Victoria, you must make the trip here, I don't care how...even if you have to walk it is worth it!  In side it i very quaint and busy!  The bar is rounded "L" shaped and seats 12 people and is in the middle of the  pub.  We sat in one of 2 or 3 church pew styled booths.  They have a separate room with a pool  table. Lots of ole pictures and memorabilia on the walls.  Out back is a great area with covered patio and big picnic tables, horse shoes and grassy area. There are 6 beer and one cider on tap. They have a decent selection of wine as well.  As for food:  I had the seafood chowder n a sourdough bread bowl.   It was great with lots of seafood.  I would order it again one of my lunch partners had the lunch special which was an open face brioche bun with shaved prime rib, sauteed onions and gravy with Cesar salad.  Another great choice!!!  My other lunch partner had the One Seven Burger and fries, fresh house made patty, mushrooms, onions, cheese, apple-wood smoked bacon and 17 mile sauce on a brioche bun.  Right up there in the burger world for great burgers!!  Great service, even when very busy, great atmosphere. We all loved this place and can't wait to come back!!

Beer Park by Budweiser Rooftop Bar & Grill (Las Vegas, Nevada U.S.A.)

Beer Park by Budweiser Rooftop Bar & Grill Located at the Paris on the Strip.  I didn't put the address because if you can't find the Paris, you have probably already had too much to drink and shouldn't be going here!  Great location open air bar with a retractable roof over looking the strip.  They have 2 large sit up bars, each seating 40 people. There are 2 pool tables, shuffleboard, beer pong, 3 kinds of Jenga gm3s, the regular one, a middle sized one and the large on the ground ones and  Foosball table.

Pinehurst Pub (Seattle, Washington U.S.A.)

Pinehurst Pub 11753  15th Avenue NE Seattle, Washington U.S.A.  Went here for lunch on a Friday and the 12 person "L" shape sit-up bar was full.  Beside us there was one person at  table.   Several local regulars were sitting together.  Small , non fancy bar. There are 2 pool tables and by the pool tables is a 12 person pub high table. They have pull tabs if you are interested in them. There  are 8 TV's through out. This place seats around 60 people max. The previous owners had it for 10 years.  the Pinehurst has been here for over 40 years.  For lunch we shared had the Whiskey burger with 2 strips of bacon on a brioche bun and tater tots and the pretzel and beer cheese dip.  The burger was home made thick and juicy very good too!  But make sure you ask for it to be cooked the way you want because mine was on the pink side in the middle.  The bartender said next time just ask for your cooking preference.  The warm pretzel was good but the dip was a little flat, needed a bit more zip to it.  The wine is $7 per glass and  very decent size.  Pop is $2 and bottomless.  10 different types of beer on tap.  New carpeting through out and all of the chairs and stools were in excellent condition.   They have a beautiful 4 foot wide Budweiser sign behind the bar and can bee seen in the picture above. I would come here again for the burger for sure!!  This bar is 21 years and over.
