Balboa - Newport Pub Crawl - 09.16.23

[DWC]

As @BUDMAN or @shintoooo says we start off to the first bar at 11am. I am checking things out this afternoon/tomorrow and will post up a general list. We should just be going from one to the other in on the list. If it is good night hang for a bit. If bad then off to the next. Not sure how late it will be. Depends if we go all out early or pace ourselves. LOL.

Did you figure out the first stop yet? Looks like we’re heading to OC to hit the sand show with my daughter/SIL. Told Steph that we’d hit Newport first to have a few first.

Thought my bike broke this afternoon after picking up my kid from school. Turns out I turned it off on the throttle instead of the battery lol.

Freaked me out some. I’m not peddling

To those staying on the Hyatt side don't forget to stop at The Village Inn...

Ok, did a bit of a dry run yesterday and talked to the bar managers. This is the loose plan with a couple of commitments.

Cabo Cantina 11:00
Balboa Saloon
Stag 1:30
Sharkeez
Malarky’s

We can fill a few more if we have the time and energy.

Beachball and Blackies looked rather small for the group size that we could have.

We also have to return so we can hit up ones that we might have missed.
I also am thinking about hitting Mutt Lynch’s later for dinner and sunset if I am still vertical.

Did the whole ride this morning with the wife for breakfast. I did not even turn the bike on. It is a really easy ride.

Getting ready to head down on my bike. Got a little mist at my house so hopefully I’m not drenched by the time I get down there. Excited to meet you guys.

Should be a nice day. It is a bit nicer than yesterday and yesterday turned out to be great. Parking lot is filling up. Will be close to the white truck with AZ plates. Right off the entrance on Pam Street. See you all soon!!!
