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.

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 …

Underdogs – Rouen
June 2019 – 30 Place de la Haute Vieille Tour, Rouen, France This is the last post from France, although since I’m working backwards through the trip it was actually the first bar we went to. It was probably my favourite, although by a pretty narrow margin. There were some pretty fantastic pubs in France. …
Le Sur Mesure & Hellfest- Nantes
June 2019 – 15 Rue Beauregard, Nantes, France Okay, so this isn’t actually a metal bar. But look at these murals. Like any self respecting Blind Guardian fan isn’t going to want to drink here? We found this bar because it is a Verified Venue on Untappd, (the greatest beer app ever which I will …
