Bar Hopping in Austin
Now this is interesting. BarStar.Com ranks Gingerman as the No. 1 bar in Austin (of 115 listed).
I didn't even realize Austin had 100 bars. Now that I think about it, that number might be on the low side. And having that many, or more, is probably a necessity if you hope to crack the Top 5 in binge drinking.
I don't like their rankings -- too many highly ranked cheesy, shiny-shirt venues. They definitely don't have enough dives toward the top. I do like Gingerman, but I'd probably put Lavaca Street at No. 1 (BarStar lists it at No. 9).
Check it out, if you live here in Austin anyway.
