Depending on how my Thursday goes, I most likely won't make it anywhere until 5:00 or shortly thereafter.
Agree that outside seating is a requirement.
Parking at the Uptown Brixx is free (7th Street Station), you just have to get your ticket validated. Decent outdoor seating section.
Dilworth is nice, but the smallest of the three, in and out. It's beer selection is due to the fact that it's the original location and it's in Dilworth.
Foxcroft is really nice. Outside section is between two rows of shops (ie. nothing to look at except other patrons) vs. the other two locations fronting a road. From what I remember, it's the largest of the three, in and out.
I'm amenable to any of the three, but prefer Uptown or Dilworth.
Oh, and no bailing this week Denis

So apparently since Eric can't go Thursday what about doing this thing tonight at Duckworth's Ballantyne as tonight is there Pint Night so $3 everything on draft.
Here is the beer list. It is actually longer than the one we have been going to and has many different things on it too.

LOL... dammit! I was planning on going tomorrow. Funny thing is that I was going to suggest Ballantyne Duckworths for tomorrow. Haven't been to that location yet and wanted to check it out.
I MAY be able to move things around and make it if you switch. I'll check this thread this afternoon to see if you guys are on or not for tonight... then go from there...

Ok well actually just talked to Eric and he is out both nights now so we will continue with the regularly scheduled date of Thursday. As much as I want the beer list of Foxcroft Brixx it is to far from the highway so thinking Brixx Uptown if that is alright? Figure maybe next week on Wednesday do Ballantyne Duckworths since that would be there pint night.
The wife coming Denis? My gf will be along so you won't be the only female along if she wants to come.

Haven't been to Brixx Uptown... but that's nice and convenient. What time do you guys normally get there??

Usually we get there around 4:00 or so, but knowing my schedule tomorrow and what Jason said earlier about getting his GF, it'll probably be 5:00 or a little after that. If it changes and I can get there earlier, I'll let you guys know.

Probably between 4 or 4:30 like Jack said. Planning on leaving work at 3-3:30 and then heading up to North Lake Mall and then to Brixx. Seems like it says it will be 30min round trip according to Google Maps plus whatever traffic adds to it. I am hoping to be there by like 4:30 at the latest though to make sure to secure an outdoor table.
Whoops I meant Dilworth and not Foxcroft. Also even Dilworth is far off the Highway since I am already heading north first lol.
It appears Dilworth is only 3.5 miles further when coming back than the Uptown one though but you said it has smaller outdoor seating area which means with arriving late we might not get outdoor seating.

However to enjoy the nice weather and sun Dilworth may be better. High rise buildings probably won't be the best for maximizing time of sun exposure. More time in the sun vs Double IPA Cask 
Also is either area really higher class above the other that would allow for nicer car watching?

Well let me know. Dilworth will be more of an effort for me b/c I take the light rail in... so my truck is down at the 485/South Blvd station. Unless we met somewhere off of East/West or Bland or something (more Southend then Dilworth). Brixx is right around the corner from my building.
If you want better car watching... let's head to South Park

Oh if you are already that close and the rest of us are driving a little either way then downtown it is. Didn't realize you were so close.

No really Uptown is fine. It will be quicker for me to get back to anyways since I can just go from 77 to 277 and be almost there. Plus they have the Double IPA cask release tonight.
