The crown. The mark of royalty. This symbol denotes a tavern with an overall excellence that exceeds the norm. |
|
|
The foamy mug marks a specific feature that is noteworthy. |

Normally when a bar goes out of business the location will never again house a tavern. Often the liquor license is sold to a distant entity. The phoenix marks pubs that have defied the odds and reopened after having been silenced. |

Not every pub that says its Irish is Irish but the ones that are and the ones that have great St Patrick's Day events will be identified with this brand. |

The screw. The sign of gross injustice or disservice. AmericanTom believes that people go to their local watering hole to escape their day to day grind and troubles. In a way, servers and barkeeps are like actors - orchestrating a great play whose cast are their customers. Some of the things that can generate a screw are: great disparity between how regulars and visitors are treated, rudeness or utter incompetence. |

|
Most businesses have a neutral attitude toward motorcyclists. The HD logo marks taverns that openly welcome those who arrive on scooters. |

Inflation sucks. It sucks away your buying power. If you can still buy a beer for one dollar - you will see this sign. |

Seafood is a class of food all by itself. Clams have little competition - few foods are better when done well and few foods can cause more problems when improperly served. See the clam next to a bar's name and it shows where tasty clams have been enjoyed! |

I like Reading, PA. In spite of being Pennsylvania's most dangerous city there are a lot of cool things to do here. One of the best is that "our" beer is back. You can have your big, national (and often foreign-owned) brands. I am happy that Old Gus has come home! Taverns serving this delicious brew will have this icon. |

Have a cold one on the deck! |

<08-19-03> Staying in the Thompson Peak Lookout tower was what brought me to Superior, Montana (about an hr north of Missoula). This really modern tower included a refrigerator and stove so I intended to take food and beer to the tower and make my meal there. For whatever reason, I changed my mind & decided to drive the ten miles up to the tower, unload, and then drive back down to the store. I guess I was just looking for any reason to drive my Ford Escape around the fantastic Montana dirt roads. As luck would have it, a dry lightning storm moved into the area and it was just before sunset when it passed. Watching the clouds and lightning roll by was so spectacular that I worked up a tremendous thirst.
Driving down to Superior I quickly found this bar and walked in. I was the only customer at the time. I said hello to the barmaid and replied with "Are you from Pennsylvania?".
