After a long and trying day at work, I was relieved that I could relax with my friends at the best bar in Rochester, The Old Toad. The danger of this bar, however, is the good food and the great beers on tap. I had prepared myself by eating dinner before I arrived, but I definitely needed a drink that night.
I wanted something “light and fruity” and upon my server’s suggestion, I got the Franziskaner Weissbier. It was slightly more expensive – $5.75, but it was a hefty 20-oz glass. That lasted me for the two hours I was there. I also bought the boyfriend the same, since I am the best girlfriend ever.
Overall damage: After tip, I spent $13 on two large beers.
What I could have saved on: I had the option of getting the special for the evening – Custom Brewcrafter’s Nut Brown for $3.50, which is a beer that I enjoy. With this smaller sized beer, however, I may have gotten two drinks as opposed to the one.
By the end of the day, my cash stash settled at $60. That means I spent $17 on dinner and two drinks - a price that I can definitely bring down over the course of the next few weeks.
