Default NY - Holiday Happy Hour
Still a couple weeks out, but a few of us are hoping to get together before the Holidays. Nothing fancy, just a few drinks and plays.

Looking at Thursday, December 20th - Austin's Ale House in Kew Gardens (Queens). Directly adjacent to Kew Gardens LIRR platform.

Good place for food, drinks and OTB right in the bar. Probably start around 5PM give or take. Anyone who wants to stop by is more than welcome.

Tentatively signed up so far:
Myself
Pointman
Viscount26
Cardus
Trifecta124
Max Caidy
Kenny p

Few guys went there for Ian's Birthday and didn't have any fun...

It's funny. We go Austin's quite a bit for lunch.

Ian saw a post that I was going to be there for the first SWLY race and shot me a message to say he hangs out there. He said ask the bartended to point out "English Ian'.

So I asked the bartender, and her exact response was "Jesus Christ, what the f*ck are you looking for him for??"...

Fun guy, fun place... Definitely going to designate a driver or make LIRR plans for the 20th.

Where ever he hangs, he is sure to be the ugliest person in there.

You'll have a great time, and if you take the LIRR, the platform practically touches Austin's outside patio. The subways are a lot further away.
Ill take the LIRR. Hopefully Ill be done early that day and can make it KP
