Let me clarify
After fielding a bunch of negative comments and a pretty funny phone call from Max's owner Ron Furman, I need to clear something up.
Longtime Midnight Sun readers will know that after a while, I retire bars from Fab Five Friday lists.
So, in this case, I purposely left out the Brewer's Art and Max's Taphouse -- because they're in a category of their own.
They're like the Beatles.
They're above lists.
I guess I didn't make it clear enough on today's Fab Five Friday list.
But I hope everybody understands now.

It always amazes me that some people are always so quick to jump on someone's perceived mistakes...even without reading history of this Fab Five list.
You made it VERY CLEAR that you weren't counting Max's or Brewers.

Sam...I'm not sure if you noticed this or not, but Brewer's Art and Max's both have great beer selections. You should probably include those in your list next time.
Wait a second...oh.

How come Ale MAry's, which has great beer at prices me and my friends (esp. the Happy Hour prices) can afford is not on the same list as Maxs and Brewers. Surely you didn't do your research!

He was too busy covering the female drama at an art show to make it to Ale Mary's.
