King_K. Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 So lets have it! For all you HHN vets and HHN newcomers where do you like to wet your whistle. Do you drink in the parks or do you drink in Citywalk? Is there a certain drink you guys like to drink, or do you pretty much just stick to beer. I'm looking to see if anyone has anywhere they recommend or anything they drink on tradition. I'm one of those people that purely stick to Strongbow and Guiness but I wanted to expand my horizons, so any input is good input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronPaHHNFan Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I chose fat tuesdays for the 190 octane. It's good and does the trick. Then once I get inside the gate I will always take a shot so I can get the shot glass and then I will get a beer in the blinky cup. That's all I ever drink when I'm at HHN. I always go for a straight shot and beer because neither is watered down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_K. Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 I like Fat Tuesday's as an after event drink, I usually get the 190 Octane/Cat 5/ and Eye Candy mixed. Quite delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love a good grateful dead at Finnigans, and/or a few shots..depending on my mood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumboshrmp Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Can I put my flask on the list? This. I'll be 21 this year and you bet I won't be paying $10 every time I want a drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_K. Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 I'm fine with a shot or two and a beer every hour or two. I don't think i'd take a flask though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) Pre-gaming at Fat Tuesdays is always the best bang for the buck. 190 octane+shot and you're good for a while. Stay away from in park mixed drinks unless you're ordering a double or you know a bartender. Beer is always a safe bet as welll. Strongbow and Guinness.....why didn't we hang out more?

Ash Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I tend to drink at Cigarz before the event, but my second place for a before the event drink is Fat Tuesdays. I enjoy the Eye Candy mixed with Rum Runner. In the park my drink of choice is the classic Rum and Coke if I'm not feeling like drinking beer.

Michele Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Finnegans because they have a variety of booze. I'm not a big pregamer.... I get drunk early, and I have a tendency to want to sleep on benches, and I leave that to the pros! (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronPaHHNFan Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) I will get a 190 octane at fat tuesdays before I go in though. I always make a point of getting there early so I can just chill out in citywalk. Edited June 26, 2011 by mz_ Content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambier Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I'm going to be 21 this year, so all these tips are greatly appreciated I always go to Margaritaville before the event for dinner so I always assumed it would be my watering hole of sorts for the pre-event festivities. Anybody have any better suggestions for the birthday girl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senortico Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Cigarz, definitely. I like going there regularly anyways because the beers are cheap, and they will make Flaming Dr. Peppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grime Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Cigarz makes Flaming Dr. Peppers?! I know where i'm stopping by this year. Brings back memories, lol I'll probably stop by Cigarz for a Captain and Coke beforehand and go the flask route once I'm in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_K. Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Yeah, i'm incredibly happy that Senortico mentioned Flaming Dr. Peppers, they're my second favorite drink, right behind Liquid Cocaine. Plus, I never would've realized that Cigarz even had drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I never would've realized that Cigarz even had drinks. Cigarz is actually the best (and only "true") bar at CityWalk. There's no food to draw in people who aren't interested in drinking. The wife and I regularly drive to the other side of town just to hang out there. It has the feel of a hole-in-the-wall dive-bar, only with full liquor selection and generous pours. Honestly, it should be on the list, as its the only place (other than drink carts during special events) that I drink at Uni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinderelly115 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I think I am going to have to hit Cigarz this year.. I've never been there, and really didn't know exactly what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronPaHHNFan Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Yea me too I always thought Cigarz was just a cigar bar. I'm gonna stop in for a flaming Dr. pepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bsquare Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Cigarz is a wonderful little hole-in-the-wall bar that's my favorite place for an HHN pregame. I make it a point to stop in a drown a couple of pints each time I go to HHN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
