Been to Ye Old cheshire cheese...

Meh.  Very touristy - not much to offer besides being old.  Everything in London is old though.

FWIW there are 3 different cheshire cheese's in London - both of the other two are better.   :drink:

Thirded on Kites. I don't see why you would want to go anywhere else. Especially since it's a K-State bar and voted #1 in the nation. I know I go there before every gameday.

How does everyone get their burgers cooked at Kite's?  Medium for me.  Just juicy enough without a risk of salmonella.

It's not quite the same since the OBX became such a popular vacation destination, but if you're ever out there, you gotta make it over to Ocracoke Island which is 95% National Seashore, so it's not developed and stop in have a couple at Howard's.

Tried to watch a Chiefs game at Kites a week or so back. Waitress told my friend and I to have a seat anywhere. We did.


We sat there for 20 minutes browsing a menu waiting for service. Several other people sat down nearby and were immediately served. Made eye contact with several waitresses and a waiter. No service.


I got up, said eff it, and went to Buffalo Wild-wings. Waitress there was cute. eff Kites.

I realize this turned into a hur-hur-hur thread a while back, but...

The Edison in LA is probably the coolest bar I've ever been in.  www.edisondowntown.com (http://www.edisondowntown.com)  Been there a couple of times now.

It's an underground bar in the basement of The Higgins building in downtown LA.  It used to be a private power plant that powered a majority of downtown.  IIRC, the landlord bought the space when it was under like 9 feet of water after the basement flooded.  Click on the visual tour on the website and you can see the floor plan. Then click on each area and click on the little yellow ticket that pops up and you can get hi-def 360 view of each area.

This is huge for those of us who do a lot of "footwork" on the dance floor.  On all of the other dance floors in Kansas that I dance on, others are really not able to get a good look at what I am doing with my feet.  This bothers me, because I suspect I am getting short changed when they evaluate my dancing.

In contrast, Kites dance floor really let me, and others like me, showcase my footwork.
