Favorite Watering Hole

Butcher's Chop House & Bar

This was a tough one as there were quite a few "favorites" nominated but, the discussion threatened to run into the wee hours so after numerous rounds, plenty of 3rd party comments and a smile from the waitress an editorial judgment call was made at 9PM and Butcher's took top honors. Other bars are welcome to invite us in to reconsider the decision....
