Apple Tree - Wolfmother - Wolfmother - 2005

So my buddy Rance and I went out to a new-ish bar in Brooklyn and discovered quite a gem (Ok, fair credit to Rance, he went there first). But the Draft Barn is tucked away on the industrial wasteland of 3rd Ave and 12th St...which is of course becoming less of a wasteland by the day.

It's a big German style (well Austro-Hungarian actually) bar with standing tables at the front and proper booths at the back. The Russian bar tender, who I believe is also part owner, was very enthused about the place and knew his beers. In fact he knew them so well that Rance and I didn't walk out of there so much as stagger...but hey, that's why you go to a beer hall.

Also, the beer crutons are simultaneously the best and worst bar food ever invented. Old bread, dipped in beer then deep fried and covered in salt is exactly what you want to eat when you are drinking tons of beer, and damn are they addictive...however I was still full until about noon today. Also, the made-especially-for-this-restaurant sausage was fantastic.

Anyway, this is Wolfmother doing their best Sabbath impression, and as always doing it fairly well.
