Best Freight Dog Bars in the US
What would you guys rank as the top 3 bars for Freight Dogs in what cities?
|
MIA
Tom's NFL on 36th Street - just opposite of PanAm Academy.
Also 1 block North of 36th Street on Curtiss Parkway, 5 minutes walk from Tom's NFL. Cannot remember the name, is the only bar there, on the LH side. xxx :ok: Cheers and happy contrails |
I'd second Tom's.
|
Bar's
How does Bryson's sound? Been there for ever!:):):):):)
|
MIA yes again...
Bryson's fully correct - Food excellent, less expensive than Tom's NFL...
Often stays open very late, later than Tom's - Even has a liquor store, next door, same management, to bring bottles back to room. Sorry - Old fart here, could not remember with my alzheimer's... xxx Excellent place for debriefing and inquire who's hiring... :D Happy (burp...!) contrails |
KILN, PANC, KPIT and KGLD.
1. BW3s in Wilmington, Ohio - KILN. (Quite a place!)
2. F Street Station in Anchorage, Alaska - PANC. 3. Darwin's Theory in Anchorage, Alaska - PANC 4. Wings Suds and Spuds in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania - KPIT 5. Not a bar, but an awsome place to eat in Goodland, Kansas of all places (for the small freight dogs) - KGLD Butterfly Cafe |
Hurricane Bar & Grill
365 N Royal Poinciana Blvd Miami, FL Close to the 36th Street scene. Great steaks, good prices, great staff. |
I would reconsider the "F" Street station. It has become a hang out in the later hours for the younger gents who are chasing the young wait-staff. Unfortunately the young guys are not happy sharing their bar with old fuddy duddy pilots and have decided to run us out. The latest was a UPS pilot attacked several weeks ago.

LAX
Not been to LAX for long time - (2003) - there was...
xxx (1) The Proud Bird, near threshold of runways 25L/R - (Restaurant + Bar) (used to be owned by retired Continental pilot) (2) The bar in Hacienda Hotel, on S. Sepulveda - 1/2 mi from airport (their restaurant La Mariposa is open all night, inexpensive) (3) 1 block South of Hacienda, same side, small bar owned by Chinese lady (cannot recall name - inexpensive food and beer - the only bar there) xxx :O Happy contrails |
F Street in PANC is being boycotted by UPS freight dogs. One of our own got cold cocked there last week. F Street Station is nothing but a thug hangout now. Be wary.

Sticky Fingers at VHHH.

Durty Harry's in FLL - European beers, great wings & scampis, hot (Swedish) waitress.

F Street running their patrons out? Not the first time...seems they like to S**t where they work...never one of my favourites...the "talent" (staff) is quick to hold out a hand for tips and if they think you're short...out ya go and don't come back...great service! Guess we gotta put up with the Brew House!

MIA Pilot House
Acmi -
xxx The Pilot House MIA is closed since long ago - maybe over 5 years by now. Most guys I knew as customers seemed to have moved to Bryson's. 36th Street is no longer what it used to be 10-20-30 years ago... You should have known the 1970s... xxx Even Tom's NFL has changed a lot since they enlarged the interior. What was a "crew only" bar is now mixed with non-aviation people. The "Corrosion Corner" is long time gone. I think it has moved to Opa-Locka. Certainly there must be some bar around there. xxx When I do training, with my guys, I now buy 2 or 3 cases of "Presidente" beer. As instructor, I get a suite at the "Mainstay" facing the Best Western. Order some pizza, and we do our "debriefings" in my place. Like being home. If we meet a nice bunch, we invite them to join us. The only way I can stretch my Argentino Pesos... xxx :* Happy contrails |
Too bad about Tom's. Good call on the Presidente!

Good old Tom's NFL
We once had a party there and where joking around! The Bartender thought we where fighting and before we knew it we where driven out of the bar by police officers and dogs. so everybody (about 60 people) got into there cars (lots of people rather drunk) and drove to a bar with Liquor store beside it (could have been Bryson's). The police followed us because they thought we would cause trouble again. Only 2 people where evicted for being underage for the rest we partied until late. Good old days,have left the freightdogging business a month ago! Neil |
