Flight 151

I'm writing this waaaay after the fact, but I'd just like to let you all know that you should all go to Flight 151 on TUESDAYS, when you can flip a coin to see whether you pay $3 or $0 for a pint, which is pretty much a win-win. I had heard about this great, great deal from someone, and so when my friend Z. came down all the way from Burlington to visit me, I convinced her and her friend S. to come check it out.

Unfortunately, Flight 151 has nothing really going for it except its awesome deals -- awesome not necessarily in the sense that they're cheap (which they are!) but just because they bring an element of play and fun into it: the coin-toss deal is on Tuesdays, a spin-the-wheel-to-see-what-kind-of-shot-you-get game takes places some other nights, etc. Otherwise, it's got a pretty crappy atmosphere (very bland and sportsbar-sy), and its deals are limited to the bar, for which reason we had to stand for part of our night. THAT SAID, the Tuesday deal was a success! We all three did the coin toss three times: S. and I lost twice, which meant that we paid $6 for 3 pints, and Z. lost only once, which meant that she paid $3 for 3 pints!! That's $1 a pint!!!!

We didn't get very drunk, because we all had things to do the next day, but this place could definitely get you drunk. At least on Tuesdays.
