Tuesday Update: The New Bottomline and Brookhaven Pub

In an attempt to find a fun happy hour, I accompanied some co-workers for an adult beverage after work. We have a belief that happy hour is a long forgotten tradition in Memphis, especially in East Memphis. Tonight was no different.

Our first stop was at the New Bottomline on Kirby and Poplar. It was dead when we walked in, but we opted to stay. Heck, we were already there. We had a few beers and a couple of snacks. We also had the opportunity to watch some exciting sports on ESPNU and ESPN.

ESPNU was featuring the collegiate version of the lumberjack championships. This was hard to believe, but then my favorite TV sport appeared on ESPN. The one, the only, World Series of Darts. That's right kids, we sat and watched professional dart players fight it in heart wrenching games of 501.

After a while we changed venues and made our way to the Brookhaven Pub. The crowd was younger and more vibrant than the New Bottomline crowd. We knew it was a good place to be when we saw the Swingers. After a couple of drinks and some trivia questions, I headed home to get some rest.

The quest for a good happy hour spot in East Memphis continues, but for right now Brookhaven is the leader.
