Your favorite bar snack?
 
I like to sit at the bar. I like to drink beer. I'm especially pleased when the bartender puts a bowl of something in front of me to nibble on. Of course if he doesn't, I'm inclined to look at the appetizer menu.

my favorite freebie: beer nuts

my favorite appetizer: wings, I guess, but if there's an asian nibble like potstickers or eggrolls, I'll go that way.

you?

Favorite freebie: Pretzels

Appetizer: Wings or Nachos are always pretty consistent no matter where you go.

Make sure the bartender gives you a fresh pour from the bag of nuts.

Restaurant surveys show that 50% of men and woman do not wash their hands after using the bathroom. The survey suggests that it's not clean to eat any open food at a bar (or anywhere for that matter ie. trade shows).

Twinkies!

Great with a cold PBR :)

I've never seen Twinkies at a bar, but I do like Gardetto's snack mix.

John's Bar, downtown LaCrosse, WI....."back in the day".

Also perhaps the last bar in North America to have five juke box plays for a quarter (up until around 1990 or so).

a loaded plate of nachos

My *least* favorite free bar snack is the mix put out at Admirals Club lounges ... all the picking I have to do (of the sample on my napkin, not the big bowl, of course) to get past all the tooth-breakingly dry pretzels.

Favorite bar snack: mustard-flavored Gardetto's. Especially nice with a gin and tonic, not that I'd necessarily recommend that before boarding a flight.

Think I'll run to the store and get some right now.

Favorite appetizers: potstickers, mozzarella cheese sticks ... oh, heck, I like all appetizers. Except, I'd like to say nachos, because I really love nachos when they're done well. But I've gotten really lousy nachos so many times in airport bars that I'm afraid to order them any more.

Favorite freebie: Smokehouse almonds!

At T.G.I.Friday's, I really like the Jack Daniels sesame chicken strips.

cheese and crackers
anything hot/spicy like wasabi peas

Favorite freebie = popcorn topped with M&Ms. Saw it in a bar in NYC, everyone else seemed to be enjoying it so I tried it. Really good. We won't think about the calories. :)

Favorite appetizer = Batter-dipped mushrooms if available. If not, chicken nachos.

Fried twinkies are pretty popular in Philadelphia - they were just taken off the menu at my favorite bar, Drinker's Pub, when it shifted to a Mexican menu. :td:

I love nachos, almonds, pretzels, and a lot more! In fact many of my friends say that the snacks motivate me to try out a particular country's nightlife scene!
