Joey's

If your not a local, expect to get ignored in here. Just tried to grab a quick beer at the bar and the guy completely ignore me. Tried for 5 mins and then gave in and left.

How much do I love Joeys? I had my 30th birthday there...that much!

Friends and I stumbled into the bar when I first moved to Brighton thinking it was going to be a dive. Instead, we found the nicest bartenders, cheap drinks, ample stools and tables, and a fun atmosphere. Don't go expecting a night out at Eastern Standard or the like, but instead go expecting a low key night where a t-shirt and jeans is the norm.

The "regulars" tend to stick to themselves and at times can make you feel like you are invading their turf, but they are harmless. Stick around long enough and they will even warm up to you.

A St. Patrick's Day level of drunk was the only way anyone was getting me to set foot inside Joey's. I have never before or since had that urge (and frankly didn't that day either, but about 5 Magners made me compliant) and I think I'm okay with that.

I'm pretty sure there's usually about 6 people in Joey's at any given time, but it was PACKED on St. Paddy's Day. We claimed a corner of the bar and downed some REALLY strong drinks. I think it was cheap? Can't remember. REALLY can't remember after the vodka. Pro tip: Once you start drinking vodka on a day-drinking holiday, you've lost the game.

Anyway. Kinda made some friends and bailed before the supppppeeeerrrrrrr drunk (and cute, if you're into that) girl next to us lost her car bomb all over the bar.

It was fun that day, but I'm gonna have to be smashed if you wanna get me to Joey's again. It smells like pee in there. And probably car bomb vom.
