Tales of a Beer Lover

Pale floors, oak chairs just like the set my parents had in the 90s, and peanuts on the […]

Where do I even start with Mikey’s? This has to be one of my all time favorite dinner spots – especially on Fridays for fish.. but honestly, I get their Central Waters Fish and Chips every chance I get. Highly recommend. You really can’t go wrong with anything on their menu to be fair. With […]
