Happy Hour at the pub

Yesterday after work I went to the pub with some of my coworkers. It was a really cute area that used to be stables and has now been turned into a little alleyway of pubs and clubs. When I learned that they used to be stables, I was quickly reminded of all those books I've read where traveling long distances on horseback, or carriage, was common, and people would stop at inns and change horses. This must have been one of the places where people stopped back then! That's just so cool!! I took a couple of pictures of the area, so hopefully they turned out alright!

The pub we went to was a Swedish Pub that my coworkers go to for the mussels. I was hoping to get fish and chips or something local, but this place didn't offer anything like that and it was pretty expensive. So I ordered a cheeseburger with bacon. (How American, I know!) It came out without cheese or bacon, so I guess I got the diet burger, which, in retrospect, was probably a good thing. And it was extremely well done. Other than that, I had my first (UK) pint of Guinness. I still don't like it much, but figured I had to order one at least once. After that, I switched back to lagers.
