Dry Dock

Wednesday Pub Night Portland #29 - 7:00 at Dry Dock

The good thing about a short work week is that Wednesday comes a lot sooner than usual. It's already time for our mid-week drinking festivities.

This week we will be going to the Dry Dock on Commercial Street, site of what I think are the finest burgers in Portland. And they potentially have an outdoor deck, but it might not be open yet. We've had burgers just about everywhere in town, and so far Dry Dock gets my highest rating. It's not overdone, it doesn't taste like a grill that hasn't been cleaned in years, and I can get onion rings with it.

Another event to celebrate is PubNight New York is going to Hell for it's 200th anniversary. Congratulations to our brothers and sisters, for making it to Hell and for dragging their friends down with them. (Hell is a great lounge/bar on the West Side of Manhattan.)

Some interesting statistics pulled from the New York email:

Having updated the stats, we can offer a few tidbits about the first 200
PubNights:
- we have been to 162 different bars in our 200 Wednesdays
- 181 people have attended PubNight more than once
- 414 different people have attended PubNight at least once
- average attendance has been 13.35 people per week
- cumulative attendance (each person x each time they attended) comes to 2,657
people-nights at PubNight
- at an average of 3.5 drinks per person, that is 9,300 drinks
- at $5 per drink, we have spent about $46,500, not counting food and extraneous
shots

(I promise to update our stats this week.)

Of course us Portlandian PubNighters only have to pay about $3 per drink. Our cumulative attendance is 239 people at PubNight, which at 3 drinks per person at $3 per beer means we've only spent $2151 on alcohol alone. So we should be drinking more to catch up to those New Yorkers. . .

So hope to see y'all tomorrow night:
Where: Dry Dock, 84 Commercial Street, across from Standard Bakery and down the street from the Casco Bay ferry.
When: 7:00pm

Cheers,

Laura
