Yes they did. I had several pints of it. Tons of hot birds/ass in the place.

This is the place we were at...

Macleod's

Looks decent, is $7 usual for a pint of lager in Seattle or is it just because it's imported or in a themed pub? $4 in my local back home.

Complete lack of haggis.

Haggis is illegal in the US, the petals are afraid of lung, liver and heart.

You will pay London prices here. Seattle is beautiful, but you have to make money to live here. I have lots of expat Brit and Scot friends here, they fuck off TD though.

Told them about it and they had no interest.

Keep in mind also that this is usually $7 for a US size pint (473mls v 592 in the UK). Snubby will obviously be able to confirm what the deal was in this Scottish place (maybe they went with the UK size), but the least I've paid is about 5$ and the most around 9$ for a US serving. Obviously, it's unusual to get a British pint.

Eating and drinking out in the US is a dear do but worth it on your jollies.

No, it was US pint size. It is hard to have a steady supply of UK size glasses here. Pretty sure you can get UK size pints at this place...

I thought as much. It's a real shocker for Europeans paying those prices for the smaller size and I was spending at least $150 for a proper session. Above $200 if I was eating and taking an Uber back to the hotel.

How much do you spend on average when you go out and get on it?

It depends on if I am alone or with friends/mates. When out with the boys, we bar hop and take turns buying, so a group night out can get quite expensive. When I am alone, I have a few hole in the wall places that are not as expensive. If you go about five or ten minutes out of the city center, it gets cheaper to drink and eat.

Just fewer people and ass.

Your mates would get along with mine swimmingly then.

Well enjoyed a Nice US Labor Day holiday



Q warming up. Got some music playing and an iced cold beer in reach



Got sliced taters and Sauted Carrots going with a nice fat Ribeye



Second flip/sear



Dinner as served.

Looks lovely, as ever, but I can't help thinking it would be too dry for me the way you like your steak meals.

It needs gravy. Or mushy peas. Or beans.

No, seriously, whenever I cook steak, I cook it with a blue cheese sauce or occasionally a mushroom sauce. At the very least I'd have some chimichurri with it.

^ Very nice!

A properly cooked steak is never dry. Stumpy has it right. Cheers Stumps!

Drowning a rib-eye in gravy is a crime against humanity.
