Friday Night in Dahlonega
You know us… always need to be doing something, so on Friday I decided to make a run up to Dahlonega to try out a few places that I have not been to. Since I wanted to head up to try out a beer, I made sure to call Bobby up and see if he wanted to join us. He of course decided to come along. On the way up we took a few minutes to show Bobby the NGCSU campus and then headed off to grab dinner and drinks.
We were told about an Irish Pub just off of the square in Dahlonega called Shananigans. It was in the basement of a house that was turned into a restaurant / pub which was pretty cool. The place was quite full (not very large though) and had a great vibe to it. Everyone was kinda seated close to each other and the decor was like you would expect for an Irish Pub. The food was quite delicious and the wait staff was on point as well. Everyone there seemed to know each other and the friendly table next to us occasionally carried on a nice conversation about everything from food to beer to Preston. It was great.
After we ate we headed over to Caruso’s to try out the stout that they brewed for the season. On the way out the friendly table next to us warned us about the beer but we did not take their advise and shrugged it off. Holy crap were they right! We headed over to Caruso’s and ordered just the beer. It was the worst beer to ever touch my lips. When I say it was bad I mean it was TERRIBLE! The beer had a very distinct sour taste to it and was just freaking awful! I would rather drink Bud Light by far… hell, I’d drink a keg of Bud Light to not drink that again. While we were sittingn there just looking around, Alisha spotted a rediculous painting of Dale Earnheart. It was a picture of him above his car about to be spun into the wall that killed him… all in the middle of an Italian restaurant next to a nice mural. WTF?!?! Bobby and I left a full glass of terrible beer on the table, got our checks, and got the hell out of there. UGH!
