SHAMROCK'S! (How did I not know about this place?)Down on Fort Road/West 7th there's an amazing bar called SHAMROCK'S that I visited for the first time ever this evening.  It's a St. Paul institution- Juicy Lucys that rival MATT'S (that's right, I said it), a free shuttle for WILD fans, Irish Music, friendly and helpful waitstaff- even their broccoli cheddar soup seemed pretty dang good!  I walked in to WILD jerseys and a band covering the The Pogues, and this place was DECKED OUT for Halloween!  I don't mean some cheap-ass skeleton hung on the door, I mean the ENTIRE ceiling of this place was covered with witches and cobwebs.  Awesome! And there was a DJ playing dance music tonight!  Shamrock, I will return!

Until next time...

p.s.  Not cool thing of the day, from my roommate Rachel:  Interstate 94.  Seriously, WTF.  She said she was so mad that not even Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body" could save her mood.

Shamrock's around Halloween is the best because they do it up and the motorized Alice Cooper look-alike mannequin holding the tray of mints is great. Glad you discovered it. It is solid. Next destination for you: Gopher Bar in downtown St. Paul at lunch. Best coneys in town. There is zero competition. Gopher = best coneys. And endless insulting behavior from the staff.
