Big 10 Football Tour

We hit a bunch of establishment during our two evenings at Penn State.  Do we ever wish that these prices were prevelant in Milwaukee!  Unfortunately we didn't get to them all, but some of our favorites included Mad Mex, Cafe 210, & Pickles Pub.

The place that impressed us the most was known as the "Cell Block."   Penn Staters told us that it was fornerly called the Crow Bar or Johnson Rod or something of that sort.  Regardless, they had these huge pitchers of beer, so we thought we'd order two.  After finishing both at 64 ounces each, we asked for our check.  The server said , "That'll be $4.00."  The 4 of us looked at each other and said, "Come again?"  She replied "$4.00"  Are you kidding me?  We can't even find a happy hour 12 ounce beer in Milwaukee for less than $3.50 and you're giving us a 64 oz. beer for $2.00?

Later that evening, we were interviewed by B94.5 All Hitz as Drew and Blake spoke on the air.

The topper of everything was to walk into the Cell Block and see Dustin Diamond, a.k.a. "Screech" from Saved by the Bell walking around in there.  See the blurry photo below - the kid got some facial hair.

Our Saturday evening then led us to the Gingerbread Man & then to Phryst Pub where we took part in "Table Wars."  This was clearly one of the most unique/most fun ideas we've ever seen at a bar.  The below video is a little dark, but you might get an idea of how it works.  Regardless, they sell great beer and offer a good time.  Check it out.  The nightlife then concluded at the Lion's Den where a few of the players and ex-players made appearances.
