Check out the reviews on urbanspoon.com The ones on the first are mostly all favorable, Iron Barley is given mixed reviews, the two maj complaints being the high prices and service--tho others seem not to mind. Check out both, Buck! Maps& directions incl.

A former CO of mine once said: " Fine with me if you wanna hoot with the Owls all night, but just remember, that doesn't mean you don't still have to get up and scream with the Eagles early the next morning." LOL.

I know when the Red Sox won the World Series at Busch in 2004, there was a general OK, they haven't won in ages, let them celebrate" attitude from the native fans. I don't know that it carries over to the more macho sports, though.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-26552045328283124652012-03-18T20:11:09.740-06:002012-03-18T20:11:09.740-06:00If you decide to get off the beaten path, come by....If you decide to get off the beaten path, come by.
