Whenever we are on the road we are on the lookout for decent pubs. So this weekend is part of a huge racing month at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and as such we are heading north. This is the third iteration of the Grand Prix of Indy - Indy cars racing on the road course, going the opposite direction, at the Speedway. It is the best show in open wheel racing in the world.
Yes, there I said it - the current Indy car series is a much better show than the current Formula One series, and has been for a number of years. And I say this as a guy who attended his first F1 race in 1978. I love F1, but in so many ways it cannot compete with Indy cars. By the way, we attended the last F1 race at Indy, before Bernie decided the venue was no longer suitable. Don't agree - drop me a line - but be nice.
Anyway, this is our third year in a row attending the GP of Indy, and we stopped for an overnight in Bowling Green, Kentucky. We had dinner at a place called the Double Dogs Pub. A nice place, but much more of a sports bar than a pub. Still, the food was great, service was fine and they had a decent selection of beers, including one of my favorites British Ales - Boddingtons in the Pub Can. Speaking of the food, if you are a hotdog fan this is the place. As an American it is in my DNA to love a good hotdog.
Again, Double Dogs is more sports bar than pub, but still a good place - I would recommend it.
