John, that would be JG O'Mallys.

Dreadbelly, Let me know where is a good place on Main St. and I'd love to come.

Thanks for the clarification.

On main, the Blue Ridge Brewery (if open and correct name) on north end of main drag is a good place for food and drinks.

Blue Ridge is verra nice. They have some excellent high octane ales. The beer battered onion rings are wonderful.

Barley's Tap Room and Pizzaria is also downtown, but it is overpriced, and the pizza is DEEEEEEEEEEESCUSTING.

Sharkey's Pub is decent, the Shark Bites are fabu. Brocolli and cheese deep fried. However, Sharkey's tends to have, well, a somewhat rowdy crowd. I can not recommend a kilt night there, unless you want said night to involve a possible fist fight or three. During the afternoon, the off hours, it is fine.

Connolly's Irish Pub is also downtown, not kilt friendly. Last time I was there, it was a hang out for punks, miscreants, and cretins. I am NOT saying the Irish are any of those things

it is just the sorts of people who hang out there. And when I went there it was overpriced 5 dollar glasses for watered down beer.

There are a couple of other taverns, pool halls, and what not downtown. Incuding a very seedy hangout which I will not name. We shouldn't go there either. Well, I can't go back there any time soon any how. Let's not go in to details, shall we?

Blue Ridge is a nice quiet reserved sort of place. It is not a rowdy sort of hang out. It is dark and dim, smells quite pleasant at all times, but especially so when they are brewing beer, and the wait staff are second to none for decency and service.

Well you know I'm up for about any time. Blueridge Brewing sounds fine with me. Lets try to get something together.

I can't male the 26th, but most nights can be there with bells on. I'm pretty sure that I can twist LeAcadianEmbaumer's arm and get him to come along too. I second the Blue Ridge option - it's a great li'l pub with great food and microbrews, great service and ambience. But, like DB said, there are a lot of options on Main street. Of course, DB, if you ever need a ride, I'll come down from Asheville, so I can give you a ride if'n ya like.

I'm up for most nights, but I won't be home till Thursday. Thanks for your efforts, Brett.

Oooh oooh oooh there might actually be a gathering of the kilted masses somewhere near my area, I can feel it.

The downtownies will prolly freak out a little bit, but that's ok. It's good for them. While I am a regular fixture downtown, a number of kilted folk would likely have folk asking if there was a parade or something.

And I'd rather not go to any of the seedier places if it is all the same. I have no intentions of ever getting my self in trouble ever again. I am now a sworn pacifist.

When is a good time? I am a ten minute walk from the Blue Ridge. So I can arrive with bells on at almost any time, provided that I actually remember what time it is and I don't forget. Because I do that. Especially when I am crocheting.

I personally am off till next tuesday and could see my self to stop down for some lunch or early dinner I don't mind late nights but try not to make a habit of it(have several children at home and the wife might not like me very much if I didn't give a hand every once in awhile). I am kilted all the time(except at work

) but I wouldn't mind getting together for some lunch that would probably keep me out of more hot water with the missus, seeing as I'm going to be out late tomorrow night. About what would a lunch meal run at the Blueridge Brewery? How about Friday or Saturday or Sunday or Monday? All of these days are going to be good for me to catch lunch.
