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 …
Animal Brew – Panama City
December 2019 – 100 metros despues de La Metro Via Argentina, Ciudad de Panamá, Panama First off, can we acknowledge how amazing that address is? I wish that I had taken more pictures of the bar itself. It’s basically a tree house in the middle of the city. The walls are all open, with foliage …
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 …
