    I ordered a small batch bourbon and instead got a random, much more expensive rye whiskey. Not impressed

    Rude service. Don’t even dare order an expensive glass of bourbon or the bartenders might mock you as a wealthy asshole. This is one of those instances where the legend doesn’t match reality.

    Önünden geçiyorduk; kısa bir nefeslenme için girdik. Ama uzun bir nefes oldu. Biramı yudumlarken NFL maçı ritüelini gerçekleştirmiş oldum.
