Matt’s Bar is an unpretentious hole in the wall in Minneapolis that needs no introduction to locals who are seeking their famous “Jucy Lucy.” Having grown up just outside Minneapolis, I’m no stranger when it comes to Jucy Lucy’s, but for anyone who isn’t aware of what this iconic take […]

The Pickled Parrot
Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, is a unique place. Surprisingly safe and friendly for a city; cracked and burnt from that country’s dark history, fairly lawless and isolated until just a decade or so ago, I’ve often heard the international mix of vagabonds, opportunists, and malcontents as such: if […]
Kineree
As a dude, what does your perfect day entail? Maybe hanging with bros over beers? Or grubbing on barbecue along with too many beers? Or how about hitting the strip club along with so much beer that you actually forget your own name? You can do all three at a […]

In the heart of Red Hook, St. Thomas, you’ll find the best bar in the area. It’s called Duffy’s Love Shack. I spent a night there drinking tropical cocktails in a very upbeat, fun environment, and today I’ll share with you my review. Duffy’s Love Shack Review First off, don’t […]
