Our Version of a Pub Crawl

The plans for Friday night were dinner at a local pub, Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, a pub frequented back in the day by Charles Dickens, rebuilt in 1667 after the Great Fire of London.  The pub was a labyrinth, with rooms upon rooms, staircases going further down below.  However, the place was so packed that there was no way we would be able to find a table and get food.  So, it was on down the street to try to find another pub.  A couple blocks down was another pub from the 1700's.  We were able to find a table upstairs, though we were in the middle of a music pub quiz.  Though we thought the waitress told us she was going to bring us menus, it turned out she was just bringing us the paper for the quiz.  So after enjoying the cokes there, it was on to find another place with food.  We went from pub to pub down different streets, only to be told that their kitchens were all closed.  Down a few random alleys eventually got us to the Thames, and across the bridge to finally find a pub/restaurant on the river.  Their kitchen was open for another 5 minutes, so i ordered a nice steak and ale pie.  Though we didn't finish dinner til after 10, the tour of the local pubs was certainly well worth it
