Night Riders!



















My darling husband and I have been riding our bikes regularly the past few weeks, getting better at navigating those crazy south Florida drivers by sticking to the side and back streets wherever possible. So, last Friday we decided to do a night ride. It was still light when we arrived at Maguires Hill 16 on Andrews Avenue, but we knew it would be dark by the time we departed. For those of you not familiar with Maguires, it's an Irish bar and restaurant and the food is really good! We usually sit at the bar where we are catered to by our favorite bartender, Katie. And, we like the camaraderie of the locals who hang out there, like us.




















My husband especially likes the atmosphere of Maguires. He says it reminds him of places he liked to visit in his home country of Germany. That old world charm comes from a lot of wood and a wonderful collection of Tiffany-style lampshades around the building. No two are alike, which lends an air of authenticity to the place.




















As we left the place, we encountered a wonderful canine, Roxie. She got down from her spot and came over to sniff me and say "Hello." She even let me take her picture!


I love places that allow dogs. What would the world be like without dogs? Or Irish bars?
