so we were going to our first game of the season, three friends from home where driving down, i was heading uptown from downtown. some other friends had tickets and they told me that they were meeting at the Dugout, a bar right across the street from bleacher section of the stadium that had $3 PBR pounders. WHAT, the Dugout where two years ago i soaked for $40 in shots of Patron before a yankee game at the old stadium has cheap beer. As much of a beer geek as i am, i don't expect to drink anything good when i am up in this hood, the old good beer bar on 158th st is closed so i am in cheap beer mode.
due to the the first rainout in my 40+ years of going to games, we never left the bar, causing the case of drinking too many beers and spending too much money. Around 9PM, the game was canceled, so it was time to go home.
The Dugout is the Yankee bar to go to before the game, it is a huge space with 3 bars and a lot of young waitress' getting beer for you. Stan's is still the ultimate destination but they slam you in and you wind up paying too much or the same bad beer as the Dugout.
