black bear lodge: buck hunter & buckets of pbr


Having spent the majority of my rearing in the outdoorsy Pacific Northwest and Northern California: backpacking, skiing and in open water, Black Bear Lodge seemed a kind nod to a birthday celebration.


The bar is a hot mess of Buck Hunter, buckets of PBR and Rolling Rock.
I
'd recommend getting there early for happy hour. Icy buckets of beer (five total) are $10. It's cheap beer, but let's be honest, in this city: you can and will be charged $8 for a PBR, more if you're in the Meatpacking district.


On the charming decor: recklessly stained cushions, antlers and skis. And then there was the jarring smell: a combination of stale beer and urine; but you get used to it after a few drinks...and it makes for ice breaking conversation.




(Many thanks to all of those who made it out to the lodge for my birthday<3)

(And even more so, thank you for keeping it interesting with the drunk Twittering).
