JT Whitney's Friday Night

With very decent live music every Fri night, great beer-battered fries, and great beer how can you go wrong? We've made JT-ing a semi regular Friday night event, especially on Friday nights after Beth gets off from her surgery rotation. This time we split the surf and turf, with a strip sirloin steak and three coconut shrimp. The shrimp were a little small, but very tasty with actual coconut flavor (sometimes they just taste like popcorn shrimp). Like all Fri nights, Jt's had live music which is usually quite decent for a west side restaurant. Beth ordered a 22oz lemon-beer drink that we have only seen in France before, and I went for a 22oz Strongbow. If you've only tried the Woodchuck brand cider before, you are really missing out on a man's cider (as manly as cider can be). When Beth and I were in the Bretagne (Brittany) region of France, I got hooked on cider. In either case, $9.50 for 44oz of decent drinks isn't too bad, especially when the drinks are difficult to find at any other local WI pub. Also, JT's has started serving their beer battered fries in a plastic pitcher, similar to those you would find at the Memorial Union.
