MySideOfTheBar

A friend posted a link to this "Cough Remedy" the other day and I (as most of you) this time of year had leftover candy canes. This is simply a take on the original Hot Toddy that I blogged about a few years back. Currently I am somewhere in between allergies and a cold so I figured what could it hurt Crumble candy canes and fill a mason jar add 1 - 2 TBS of honey a good squeeze of lemon fill the jar with Bourbon (of course I used Four Roses) let sit until the candy canes dissolve (about 5 hours) Sip as needed Did it work? Well lets just say that it did not better that simply sipping Bourbon, however it was very tasty and if you are not into sipping Whiskey you will really enjoy this. Cheers The Professor

These look like a lot of fun and you can expect to see them @mysideofthebar next year. You can also make other types of shot glasses including ice shot glasses Cheers The Professor

Moving along with this tale on an EPIC summer not all bars we visited were pool bars. One such is actually MySideOfTheBarATL where we spend most summer days sitting and drinking Another hangout where you will find us most Saturday mornings is Bobbers Restaurant at Alhonna Resort.  Bobbers has great food and the servers are awesome. Eating Pango Breakfast with the best server ATL (Marion) We also made to Franky and Louie's Beachfront Bar and Grill . This is very close to the condo and they have great outside dining and good food. Central Patti was MIA on this day but we struggled on without her. Also if you go be sure to get your picture taken in the Big Chair Believe it or not, we are not at the end of this EPIC Summer yet. Stay tuned for more Cheers The Professor

I was going to spread out the remainder of the post about all the pool bars we visited, however that would be far to many post so I decided to lump them together here. This summer we visited so many places new and old so I have a lot of post to go. One of the next pool bars we visited was the Redhead Lake Side Grill I really enjoyed this and almost liked it as much as the Lake Tap and Grill with a couple of exceptions. First it was a long way from homebase of MySideOfTheBarATL. Second they allowed kids 12 and over in the adult pool and third you could not smoke in the pool. However the menu was great as was the food. I was fortunate enough to get to eat here twice during this epic summer. We again ventured out in the Happy Ours (seemingly every other day we cruised on this stead fast vessel) Good food, good service and great friends. Central Patti and I ventured to the next spot alone and I have to say as far as the pool itself goes I really enjoyed th...

The next stop in the Epic summer was one of no less than 5 stops and establishments with pool bars. The Tap and Grill Lake Side Brew Haus . This is one of my favorites as I really enjoy the menu and you can smoke cigars in the pool. We were fortunate on this day to get a ride from Captain Steve on the "Happy Ours" and the five us us had drinks on D.G. credit card while she was in Paris. I regret I did not get a picture of us in the pool bar and if any of you that went have one please send it to me. Cheers The Professor

The second post for the Epic Summer is on Whiskey Wednesday @mysideofthebarATL. Now while true this is not the first #WW ATL it was the largest. We had a lot of great food and if I could remember everything I would list it. However, this dish was awesome. We also played bags and S.M. and I were undefeatable and on top of a great night it all went to the dogs when we allowed the pooches to invade the parkade. Cheers The Professor

Well as most of you know we spend most of our summer @MySideOfTheBarATL (At the Lake) and this summer was no different. A great summer indeed and some may even call it Epic. I want to thank all who participated for all the good times and all the places we visited (no less than 8 bars) Big thanks to S. and C. O. for all the boat rides. S and S. M. for doing most of the baby sitting while I was by myself a few weeks. D and D G for the sunset deck parties. (one of which was not that Epic, however what happens at a deck party stays at the deck party) and all the rest of the Usual and some Unusual suspects for this Epic summer. I thought it may be fun to do a little recap in the next few weeks to show just how Epic a summer it was. The season started early this year as May was a wonderful month weather wise. The first outing was on Wave Runners to the Shady Gator with S and C O.   We have been to the Gator many times over the years and the place has not changed that much. Good f...
