A Night In The Life Of

Most of our out of town friends live in towns like Glastonbury and Colchester down the Route 2 corridor of the "Red Sox side" of the Connecticut River. Often these friends will ask, "what is it that you do for fun in Hartford?" The answer typically is sometimes along the line of "oh you know, meet up with some friends to eat and get some drinks." While this is technically an accurate answer, it is also what almost everyone in the world does when they go out and certainly doesn't do anything to convey why we choose to live in Hartford. This dawned on us on a recent Friday night in the West End, a night that pretty much sums up why we like to in an urban area.

The Best Bathroom Sign Ever

Vegas Blvd is a very cool bar on Sisson Ave. While lacking in swanky amenities, Vegas is a great place to get a value priced beer and shoot some pool. You might see some novel pacts performing like the night we saw a one man band that even included a harmonica. Occasionally they will run a little short on beer supply and you will get a chance to try a beer you might not know still existed. It is a great place to go when the Half Door has a way too loud act playing horrible Irish music.
