Two thirds of the way done, by the official count. By the real count, of how many bars there are, it was probably a few weeks ago, but we might still end up closer to 570 than I think, so we'll just leave this bar as the .667 point.
Park Pub is a little bar not far from Woodland Park. It's got a pair of pool tables to one side, the restaurant seating, such as it is, to the other, and the bar right in the middle. We sat at the bar, where I observed they had Rogue Ale on tap (never a good thing). The bartender and a friend were eating various sushi obviously not made at the establishment (I suspect there would be no fork snatching here.)
It was a neighborhood place, but an upscale one. Which is odd. But I suspect the neighborhood is plenty high class enough to support such a strange bird, and if you want the neighborhood dive, the Woodland Park Inn is just across the street anyway.
The drinks weren't all that strong, and at 5 bucks, they were a overpriced. There was something weird about the drinks, too. Mine tasted kind of fizzy, which a Vodka Cran just shouldn't.
It's a place to skip, I think, although I liked the look of the place, dark colors with decent lighting and interesting spaces. But I'm not going back or anything.
