I'd go there if you live in that area. A friend went there and it was just a bunch of no libs hipsters bowling...so that was kind of annoying. If you wanna drink just find a good beer bar in center city/old city that has good food, beer, and enough room for your friends. They weren't very accomidating to groups either.
McGillin's. Not that it really matters, because when all is said and done you shouldn't remember most of the night anyway.
I wanna go there for my b-day this year...but that isn't till November. Hopefully I'll be there again before that.
I'm making my sister and her friends take me out because: 1. They are all over 21. 2. They have money to buy me drinks.
I highly recommend the Vulcan Mind Probe. Ouzo & Bacardi 151. Sounds nasty, but it's actually pretty good.
Have fun with it as you only turn 21 once. Make sure you have a firm designated driver. If they are doing the job correctly you won't remember past midnight and you'll wake up in your own bed with an unsoiled shirt.
I think I probably went to probably 5 or 6 bars on my 21st but most of them are only a blur..... I only remember the first was Cavanaugh's............ I ended up tipping the guy at the 30th street station McDonalds at the end of the night.... Good times.
My suggestion? Finish the night wherever you like, but start out at the Beneluxx Tasting Room in Old City while you still have the palate for it. Then head somewhere else for dinner/more and cheaper drinking. Quality > quantity.
Meh, to each his or her own. My only recollection of the night was my reaction to a cement mixer shot.
Dude, just do what everyone else does and go to Buckheads. They are cheap, esp when its your b-day also they have a damn bull. 13 more days for me can't wait.
