An Evening at Earls

I met my girlfriends after work at Earls a few weeks ago and am just now getting to this blog post. Thank you school for keeping me preoccupied! If you get a chance, get over to Earls in Bellevue for their delicious Happy Hour in the lounge.

The drink that won all of our hearts was the Lemon Meringue. Lets just say its like drinking the pie. Absolutely fabulous! But, as a tip from our waitress, get the old version of the drink. I guess it tastes better? and you get more for your money!


For a light dinner, I ordered the Los Cabos Chicken Tacos and they were half-price in the bar during Happy Hour.

The restaurant has fun lighting and decor and a younger vibe!

Delicious Small Plates!

Over the three-day weekend, my friends and I needed a little rest, relaxation, and a good meal out. We went to Tap House Grill in Bellevue for some awesome small plates!


To start off, I must mention that unfortunately they don't have any drink specials, but with 160 different beers on tap it was fun to explore something fun and new. But, this night around, my friend Brittany and I were looking for a little something to kick up our senses. I just sort of created a Happy Hour drink? Well, when I was a young lad, before the age of 21 I sipped on Tap House's amazing Watermelon Lemonade. So why not add a little Vodka in it? And it was delicious, seriously, try it!


But, that's beside the point. What Tap House has to really brag about is an amazing array of small plates for $3 to $6 dollars each! We sampled on hummus and pita, caesar salad, pork sliders, and tequila chicken skewers (which were my absolute favorite).


Overall, a very successful evening and great way to spend a long weekend. Girls night is this Friday. I wonder where we will go?

The Glory That Is $5 Steak Night

Yes, what I am about to tell you is a true fact. It is something I have experienced a few different nights of my life and for some reason haven't gotten around writing about it till now:

$5 STEAK NIGHT WEDNESDAY'S AT EASTLAKE BAR AND GRILL!



If you are like me and grew up eating loads of meat, there isn't a meal that I missed more coming to college than a good steak dinner. So now you understand the important of $5 Steak Night at Eastlake!

For $5 you get can a steak and french fries and then throw in a $4 glass of wine.









MMMM...Nothing like a good 'ol glass of Pinot Grigio.

Seriously, I am telling you, GO!

Summer In January

Remember those summer days when you were little and you would run after the ice cream truck to get your Creamsicle? Maybe its just me, but as an adult, little treats like this is something I definitely miss. Over winter break, I was introduced to Whipped Cream Vodka. I know, I am lame and not one of the first people to discover this revolution but I can't stop bragging about it to everyone.



I was able to recreate the Creamsicle taste by mixing the vodka with a little bit of Orange Juice. Talk about dessert in a cup!



Such a great way to close out a cold January evening, not to mention get a little bit of Vitamin C in there as well! I am a fan.

Goal of this coming week: Go out, be social, find a new Happy Hour.
