Froggy Bottom Pub

A shallow young-ish pub with lots of beer and young things and football on tv and a pool table and smart-sorrow-drowning female bartenders and more beer. A basement crammed, cheap and hard wooden benches to sit up straight and listen to the real-life ‘education’. A tv on mute with the commentator furiously talking in subtitles and crazy Americans watching the same money churning sport with eagerness that surpasses their normal lives. Some undergrads, pierced, quite obviously and drowning the bitchy life sorrows over a beer. Glasses are plastic, kegs lined up, and pitchers big enough for night long conversations with friends. The name, to be taken literally, translates into Froggy- the froggy at the door, Bottom- the pub is in the basement. Other than the charming photos of regulars over beer, there is an broken pin ball machine against the wall and a Chinese guy welcoming you!

If you think its a treat to watch people drunk or otherwise, over some good conversation, get froggied and bottomed here!
