Not much of a wine drinker, but being from NI I do have a soft spot for Bushmills "Black Bush" (http://www.bushmills.com/en-row/OurRange/BlackBush.htm) or ofcourse the good old reliable JD ^

Casey Moore's Oyster Bar Tempe Arizona
Casey Moore's Oyster Bar (house?) @ Ninth and Ash in Tempe Arizona sits in a historic neighborhood in a house built in 1910 that is haunted ( I have not seen any ghosts but some beautiful aberrations) . The palce is always very busy on weekends Great Oysters, steaks, burgers. Total cross cutural crowd from couples going to local plays at Gammage theater to young single ASU students having a good time deeper into the night. The place is hard place to find because it is not located near any of the corporate bar/restaurants in town on Mill Ave but it is just 5 min from PHX Sky harbor airport.

Give me a simple, "popular with the locals" pub in a small town/small city with real people, good food, cheap beer, good conversation and no pretentions of any sort. A good well used jukebox is also a plus. If its the "in place" du jour or "the place to be seen", I don't want any part of it.
I'll take a little hole in the wall like Evelyn's in New Orleans, Heart and Crown in Ottawa, The Lamb in Birkhamsted (UK), Leonardo's in Cedar Rapids, The Spot in Renton (WA), Labemi's in Crystal Lake, (IL) etc. over anything "cool".

When I went to a Baltimore Ravens game, there is a place near the stadium that will sell you a half pint or pint and let's you pour your own drinks and give you all the mixer you need. I forget the name of the place and I 'll have to ask my cousin who took me there, but after the game I don't remember much.
