Next up was Standings Bar, at 43 East 7th. What IS this place? "Standings." No stools? Last one standing...? Some guy named Stan Ding? Oh, it's a sports bar! I believe it's owned by the same folk who brought us Burp Castle. It couldn't be more different, though. There are banners and sports swag hanging from the ceiling and walls and there were at least four TV's showing games.

I think someone must have bought me a beer—I have absolutely no recollection of ordering—Judging by the photo, I'm holding something dark and creamy. With any luck it was the Sierra Nevada Porter, although considering the Irish lilt in the eyes, it may well have been a "point" of Guinness.

Other than a couple at the bar, we had the place to ourselves. I got the impression they were getting ready to close up as we arrived. I believe we stayed for one pop before heading downstairs to Jimmy's. All in all, a worthy stop on our pubcrawl. [next]
