FRIDAY!!!! | speakeasies (ys?)

brian segna isnt good at a lot of things, but he is good at finding awesome bars. he recently brought to my attention two speakeasyish spots, the wellesbourne and townhouse basement.

went to the wellesbourne this past week; it is awesome. given we went on a monday and we were more or less the only people in the bar (plus one vomiting tourist, eee...), we still had a pretty fun time.
the place is split up into 3 rooms; one with a fireplace and huge leather chairs, another with floor to ceiling bookshelves and super old books, and another with shuffleboard and a foozball table.
not sure how great an idea drunk people plus fire in the firepalce is on a crowded night, but with 10 people in the bar it was quite lovely.
they give you your bill (and it's not a cheap bill... the drinks are good but hellllllo$$) in these hollowed out little books. and ebee misa and smeggs ended up eating food there - tasty as hell.



the other place bsegs found, townhouse basement, seems like it has major potential to get annoyingly crowded (ahem, basement tavern). but it looks cool!
i wonder what you do there. put on marionette shows? talking pictures? pole dancing.
