October 2019 – 168 Marcy Ave, Brooklyn, New York Man, did we ever have high hopes for this place. It seemed to be THE metal bar in New York. And Type O Negative used to hang out there! It was a huuuuuge disappointment, only coming in at number 8 on the list. Here again is …

Bar Base & Tuska – Helsinki
June 2015 – Kalevankatu 3, 00100 Helsinki, Finland I wasn’t even on Untappd yet when we were in Finland!! Luckily I took this photo of our first beer in Helsinki. We had a horrible flight. We flew overnight getting no sleep, and arrived in the late afternoon. That seems to be the only flight schedule …

Kuma’s Corner & Manowar – Chicago
February 2014 – I don’t remember which location we went to, Chicago, USA There’s apparently 5 Kuma’s locations in Chicago. I’m not sure which one we went to, but I feel like it was “the original” on Belmont Ave. I’m not sure what I’m basing that on. There was a lineup and about an hour …
Blakbar Alt-Rock Resto-Pub – Edmonton
All the time – 10762 82 Avenue NW, Edmonton, Canada This is the first bar I’ve actually been to since I started this blog! So, that means I got to choose what to take photos of instead of pulling them from Untappd. And you know what? It was really hard! I had no idea what …
Excalibur Cafe – Amsterdam
June 2018 – Oudezijds Achterburgwal 48, 1012 DP Amsterdam, Netherlands This had more of a hard rock vibe than a metal vibe. They were playing hard rock too. They had cool shit like armour, but I think it actually felt a bit theme park-y. Perhaps due to the location on the main thoroughfare of the …
La Divina – Oaxaca
November/December 2007 – A un costado de Santa Domingo, Oaxaco, Mexico So, I was here over a decade ago, and this place isn’t even open anymore. But this was so random I had to include it. I remembered there being a goth/rock/alternative bar in Oaxaca that I hung out at a lot, but it was …
Escobar & Copenhell – Copenhagen
June 2017- Blågårdsgade 2A, 2200 København, Denmark This is kind of weird, but neither my husband nor I can remember ANYTHING about this bar. The only reason I even remember we went there is that we joked about what an odd name it is. I only took photos of my beers, so no clues there …
The Dev aka The Devonshire Arms – London
June 2018 & June 2019 – 33 Kentish Town Rd, Camden Town, London, England Now we come to the third, and my favourite, bar we visited in Camden. This might actually be one of my favourites overall actually. That would be a fun and challenging list to make. For how many beers I logged here, …
