I don&#8217;t go there enough to know. Nor am I going to tell you, do or don&#8217;t go to the Tap Room. That is for you to decide. All I am going to do is point out that the Tap Room has been known to charge nearly $14 for the same amount of domestic beer you can get for $6 not far away.<\/p>\n<p>Got news on a couple of service industry open positions. First of all, Cafe Keough is hiring and is willing to train. That&#8217;s a neat job because you&#8217;d be part barista and part bartender. Also, Keough does not stay open late at night so you wouldn&#8217;t be getting home at 3 AM. It&#8217;s at its busiest during morning coffee time and at lunch. Cafe Keough is located in the ground floor of the Number 10 Main apartments.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, The Nine is hiring servers. This is the Thai restaurant on Union just west of Huey&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>I went to the Silly Goose yesterday to hang out at B-RAD&#8217;s bar, and discovered that Dylan had been experimenting with sandwiches in the wood-fired pizza oven. He brought out a sample for Perjorie T. Roll to try.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_5264.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-23083\" src=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_5264.jpg?resize=500%2C494\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_5264.jpg?resize=500%2C494 500w, http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_5264.jpg?resize=300%2C296 300w, http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_5264.jpg?resize=1200%2C1185 1200w, http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_5264.jpg?w=1680 1680w, http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_5264.jpg?w=2520 2520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is the &#8220;Bitch, Please,&#8221; named for Tony, one of Brad&#8217;s Sunday regulars.
