Background to our 'diving'

The couples had been going out for a couple years already.  The typical choices had been neighborhood places like JB's in Brentwood Bowl (Finneytown),  Bacalls in College Hill or Century Inn in Glendale. If you are not familiar with any of these, they would great places for someplace different that breaks the chain of typical restaurants.  


One weekend we decided to start our evening at Marty's Hops and Vines on Hamilton Ave in College Hill. A perfect place for beer drinkers to choose from a variety of beers and plan the next stop. We met Josh the bartender, who helped us with our selections.   We did learn that Duval is a Danish beer that means Red Devil and it will kick your ass! That evening took us to the Hideaway in Northside and then onto the Northside Tavern  .  A few months later found us sitting at Marty's again looking for a different place.  Josh came to our rescue and suggested Boswell's Alley in Northside as well.  It was a perfect evening to sit on the patio, enjoy cold drinks, and the eclectic atmosphere. 

While enjoying beers and a summer evening on the patio, we talked about our evenings in Northside.  It was thought we should continue our search and discovery of out of the way restaurants (and dives).  Each person would have to find one place. Since the evenings revolve around drinking beer, it would     be fun to start at a neighborhood bar. Tracy hatched the idea of blogging it and here we are.
