offbeat columbus

congratulations to surly girl for being named one of the ‘best bars in america’ by esquire magazine!

“the fairer sex rules at this female-owned saloon, but rest assured: the womanly wiles are dispensed with mae westian sass, not post-riot grrl angst. pigtailed roller derby queens sit elbow to elbow with middle management-types, everybody digging into down-home grub such as frito pie and cherry cola-glazed ribs.”

indeed. and for those of you participating in scoot-a-que 10 september 14, 15, & 16, be sure to sort carefully through your rally pack.

there’ll be no pens, sponges, or corporate swag this year (at least not from us). no. instead, you’ll be getting your choice of either $1 off fresh ice cream from jeni’s, or $5 off a meal from betty’s or surly girl, on us.

just look for the bird:
