    Free Beer!

    If you are a member of our board in recovery, please don't take offense to this post.

    I have a question... as many of us have been known to "frequent a pub or two", how many of you were ever given free drinks (beer or shots) simply b/c you were wearing a kilt?

    Interesting thread Rocky! Although I do not drink, I think this will interesting to see.

    at the moment im only 18 and in wisconsin i can only legally drink if a parent gives me one, and i generally dont go out to pubs with my parents, only with friends cause no matter how old you are in wisconsin you can sit at the bar, and generally i stick to ginger ale and a corn beef sandwich, so unfortunately no ones offered me a drink, cept that time in puerto rico, but i wasnt kilted.

    i heard that at Nicholson's in downtown Cincinnati the restaurant/bar gives a free beer to guys in kilts.

    sadly, i have yet to make an appearance.

    Only happened to me in general a couple of times.

    However, I can confirm your first pint at Nicholson's (Scottish themed restraunt/pub) is free when kilted (bartenders are good about this, wait staff is not).

    Rocky,

    I think giving a free beer with every USA Kilt is a really great idea and a wonderful gesture on your part...


    WHAT!

    That's not what the poll is about?

    darn!



    Cheers

    Jamie

    Woman in bar = free beer. Kilted woman in bar = much many more free beer.

    Hasn't happened yet, but that is probably more because I rarely get to a pub with the family. Although Derek and I bought each other pints when we were in Wales last year, does that count?

    Pretty often, but I mostly decline the offer.

    That is another reason for buying kilts.
