Rhinehaus

I don't know about you, but I know I often get parched walking from the Vine Street spots to the Main Street spots. Before Rhinehaus I had to make sure that I wore my camelback filled with locally brewed beer. But now with Rhinehause strategically located so I do not sober up from the trek. So dive into OTR's newest divebar... oh wait another bar just opened, and another one! Rhiehaus is a great addition to the neighborhood!

Great new bar in the heart of OTR!

I love an old brick-and-mortar.  $3 domestic bottles.  The house was busy but you could still find a seat and didn't have to die of claustorphobia like you do everytime you're at Lackman. The service was prompt and friendly, the music was mid-90s awesomeness, and apparently this is a bit of a hockey bar, which is awesome.

I spent the evening singing and watching the Blue Jackets attempt to get into the playoffs for the first time in franchise history while the Red Wings tried to avoid being held out of the playoffs for the first time in a quarter century.

This might be my new go-to in OTR.

Oh how I hate sports bars, usually because is wall to wall TVs, crappy drinks and too many guys.

BUT, then we have Rhinehaus, I was very much against Jack and Aaron opening a sports bar.
Because I was worried it would be just that, and was very skeptical of their idea!

They have sure proved me wrong, this place is absolutely awesome, sure they have a few TVs, but they are placed in a way that does not seem intrusive.

They have tons of beer on tap and also they make very good drinks, not to mention the Jameson shoots are huge!  

I have not yet been able to go there and "just stay for a few drinks". Whether that has something to do with me or Rhinehaus, I don't know.

The bartenders all know their stuff, and the wait to get served is rarely very long, even on busy nights!

I don't know why they call it a dive bar, since I find it rather upscale and cool(for a sports bar).

I have heard a few complaints about they don't serve food, but that just mean you don't drink enough!
Drinking on an empty stomach is not only cheaper, but also a good way of dieting!  
If you don't like to alco-diet, there is the option of ordering a pizza etc, which they actually encourage you to do.
There is also frequent food trucks parked outside, to help out with the American "must have access to food" way of thinking!

I hope for continued success for Rhinehaus, if you have not been you need to check it out.

If you have any questions about the alco-diet, just come see me, I plan on doing it every Friday!
