Callahan's Place vs The Mended Drum

Cafe Society
1

Where do YOU want to go drinking tonight?

At Callahan’s you’ll meet puns that’ll make you wish you were dead. At the Drum, you’ll meet Huns who’ll happily grant that wish.

At the Drum, you’ll rub elbows with barbarians and librarians (well, one Librarian…with very odd elbows). At Callahan’s, you’ll rub whatevers with the Duck and a quack (I mean, come on… Doc’s main form of therapy is to send his patients to Callahan’s).

So what are you up for? Jokes to make your head hurt? Or a badly hurt head?

Actually, today I feel like I belong at Biers.

Callahan’s, hans…I mean hands down. I love puns, and the Sacred Rule means that I won’t be bothered unless I want to be. At The Drum, however, I will be bothered whether I want to be or not. I lack the reach of the Librarian, and I am sorely out of practice with my broadsword.

Besides, I can get good beer at Callahan’s. No telling WHAT is in the slop the serve at the Drum. I think it’s made with “water” from the Ankh too!

I like places with peanuts on the counter. I also like places where the water is not chewable.

But I still like The Mended Drum. It’s something about the atmosphere of impending decapitation if I mention the word “monkey”…

5

Callahan’s, no contest.
Although…does anyone remember the name of the bar in the “Grimjack” graphic novels?

6

Well… I DO have a gash on my head this morning…

But that doesn’t mean anything – I could have asked an ill-advised question at either place.

7

I’d have to choose the Drum.

Spider Robinson writes a mean story, but he can’t create a time-travel paradox to save his life.

8

Well, since my real-life name is Vincent the Invulnerable, I think I’d better stop off and see how Mike and Jake and Eddie are doing.

9

I’m an incorrigible punster. Don’t incorrige me.

See ya at Callahan’s.

10

Here’s a buck, and I’ll have a Tully’s, thank you. A toast, if you don’t mind-
To the sins of pleasure, and the pleasures of sin!
CRASH

11

How about an extended pub crawl? We can visit both of the above and then move on to the Draco Tavern and the White Hart.

13

Between the two I’d hang out at Callahan’s.

But if I had my druthers I’d be sitting next to a dead rock star drinking Pangalactic Gargleblasters at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

14

The Drum would be a good place to watch, as in a sitcom. But for planting your keister somewhere with good drinks and low risk, Callahan’s wins hands down.

(Not for me, though – I’m hangin’ around Lady Sally’s House. :wink: )

15

I wouldn’t have minded seeing the lunar eclipse last night relaxing on the grass and enjoying the island breeze at The Place…

I hear Zoey’s take on “Also Sprach Zarathustra” is killer.

16

The Drum has had peanuts on the counter since the Librarian became a regular. They just hide them when he isn’t there.

17

Munden’s

18

Hmm, I wonder if there’s any connection to the fact that Fast Eddie’s face is usually described as similar to a wrinkled monk…I mean ape.

And are we limiting this to just Callahan’s, or is Mary’s and The Place valid choices? Every since reading Callahan’s Key, I think I’d like to take a trip to Key West one of these days.

Callahan’s would be way fun, agreed, but I can’t stand Bushmill’s, especially in my Irish Coffee.

Personally, I’d like most to hang out at the World Serpent Inn.
