Any halfway social person will admit they have a favorite bar, tavern, pub or restaurant they frequent.  Among those halfway social people you might know, you'll find some wannabe-foodies (woodies) who have certain opinionated preferences such as, "The Red Hot has the coldest beer," or, "Pacific Grill has the best happy hour food." (Coincidentally, both of those statements are completely accurate.)  

Know any moms?  They could probably tell you which restaurants have the largest glasses of wine, along with the ones with the highest tolerance for screaming kids.  Everyone has their opinion, and everyone has their favorite bar for their own personal reasons. 

If you're really lucky, you have a favorite SECRET bar.  It's a place that suits all your needs, fits in with your schedule, and no one knows about it but you.  It's often a place near your home, is somewhat divey, and holds some of the best people you've ever met.  You know they're the best because they know you by name.  They may not have the best food according to Zagat, but to you, they're the best at everything.

For me, that place is The Right Spot in Fife.

Drink One: Hefeweizen (Bartender's Choice) - I swear on my dead grandmother's life, I didn't plan these three drinks out at all.  It just so happens that my lovely bartender, Jen, knew how to read minds, and I had beer on my mind all day long.  With my drink in hand, I pondered the extensive menu.  Pizza, sandwiches, fish - everything here is good.  Damnit.  The decision was too hard.  I needed another beer. 

Drink Two: Coors Light (Most popular drink within last hour) - Coors Light?  Whatever.  At least it was beer, which suited my fresh off the boat fried halibut and chips.  With my family by my side (kids allowed until 8 p.m.), another decision faced us:  should we play pool, or throw darts?  I had forgotten my life-sized pictures of John Mayer for the darts, so pool it was. 

Drink Three: Bud Light (My choice) - Yeah, right, like I would do anything to alter my lucky beer-ordering streak.  Of course I ordered a Bud Light!  Never have I visited a fully-stocked bar, told them they could make me any drink they want, and had them give me a damn beer.  You bet your ass this place is my favorite secret bar, and why it's perfectly named: The Right Spot.
