Cold beer, hot peanuts and honky tonk music

While exploring my new neighborhood one day, I walked by a brick-walled bar on a street corner. What caught my attention were the painted letters on their windows, which read "Cold Beer, Hot Peanuts" on one and "Honky Tonk Live Music" on the other. I made a point of returning there with my roommate within a week.

The beer is cheap yet fantastic (the Brooklyn Blast double IPA is a new favorite), the floor is covered with peanut shells and the live bands add a really fun if not overwhelming vibe. Truth be told I didn't even notice a band was playing the first time I walked in, until finally spotting them in a corner next to the bar. I might have been a little quicker to notice the people congregated in front of them bouncing around flailing their elbows and kicking their heels, but I was too busy sifting through their beer list.

Since my first visit, I've been back twice. In the same weekend. Guess I like my cold beer and hot peanuts. And I'm still not sure of the bar's actual name - I prefer to call it honky tonk.
