The 10 Best Bars to Daytime Drink
Skinny Dennis
With beers on tap rarely running more than 5 bucks a pint and hillbilly novelty drinks like the Dr. G (Guinness and Dr. Pepper) and bourbon-spiked sweet tea, Skinny Dennis is usually jam-packed at night. But you’re not going at night, are you? You’re going during the day. So you can kind of have the run of the place, which includes having access to the vintage arcade games and hopefully staking your claim to both the jukebox and a perch on the reclaimed bench seat of a 1981 Ford F100 pickup truck. Plus now that the weather’s heating up (maybe? it still remains to be seen) you’ll definitely want to indulge in Uncle Willie’s Frozen Coffee. Served in a classic Anthora disposable paper coffee cup and made in a daiquiri machine, Uncle Willie’s Frozen Coffee consists of milk, vanilla, sugar, bourbon, coffee liqueur, brandy, and Oslo coffee. Not only is this just an amazing drink on its own, but, because it includes caffeine, it is actually the PERFECT daytime drink. The caffeine will make sure you can carry on and transition into night drinking with the greatest of ease. And that’s all you really want to do, isn’t it?
