The Two Person Pub Crawl

This weekend we had one friend who was sick and our other friends took a trip to Ireland, so we had a lot of free time on our social calendar : ) We decided to explore the Fulham restaurants and bars, and thus, the two person pub crawl began.

Friday Night

We went to the Northeast area of Fulham and had dinner at a pub we've both wanted to check out, The Fulham Mitre. This pub is awesome; it has a beer garden out back and a nice cozy interior. There was also an extremely drunk gentleman who came and laid on the couches behind us while we were having dinner and had a hilarious conversation of gibberish with himself - it was 8pm.

Afterwards we headed to a locals pub. You can tell that it's a locals place when there's only 7 people in the bar and they all turn to look at you when you walk in (who are those newbies?) We watched a professional darts competition on the TV which was actually pretty entertaining

Finally, we ended the night at a pub that had housed two Christmas parties earlier... needless to say we made friends pretty quickly there because they were all quite a few drinks in! One guy was also  convinced we were Canadian... no, Seattle is near Canada but not IN Canada.

Saturday Night

This time we went South and had dinner at another restaurant we've been wanting to check out - Brown Chicken Brown Cow (It's actually called Brown Cow but if you say the name really fast like this it's way more fun!) This restaurant was amazing; we loved the atmosphere and both our dinners were delicious. So far the food in London has been mediocre - we've had a few pretty good meals but usually the food doesn't stand out. We were both very impressed with this place.

Next we headed to an Oktoberfest pub which was really fun. The place was pretty packed, there was a full band dressed in lederhosens and dirndls, and they invited people up on stage for beer challenges. We watched the girls beat the guys at the drinking competitions... I'll prost to that!

We ended the night at another pub, The Durell Arms. Similar to the pub the night before, there were also a few Christmas parties finishing up. People were decked out in Christmas clothes - one girl had even wrapped Christmas lights around her dress. Santa was at the bar and the whole pub played limbo with a guy's neck tie. The British sure know how to have a good jolly old time!

So our two person pub crawl ended up being a really fun weekend with my favorite date! And now that you've had a look at a few Fulham bars, where do you want to go when you come visit? : )
