Hello Summer 2009 part 9 of 11
12 years ago this month Pizza Port opened their second location here in Carlsbad. Carlsbad Village Drive would never be the same. Local hoodlums on the prowl and families looking for an exciting outing mingle on the many scattered benches and perimeter of Pizza Port, but c.crawl’s favorite Summertime spot is in the neighboring Pizza Port Bottle Shop. Over 600 bottles chill in tightly packed fridges surrounding a standing only bar. You can find everything from your long lost favorite IPA to a potent Belgium. Bottles are sold separately or in a 6 pack arranged to your liking.
A cool ocean scented breeze tumbles into the front door, flutters a stack of magazines and out the back door. You grab your chilled beer with a smirk on your face. Your sunburned lips touch the cold glass and you sip your first pint, acknowledging the perfection of the day’s events. A red-eyed teen shuffles in from next door with a plate of garlic brushed bite-sized pizza crust beer buddies and your belly rumbles. When the Summertime crowds expand and the structure of Pizza Port swells, carlsbadcrawl finds relief in the beer lined walls of the neighboring bottle shop… buy 5 and get #6 free!
When the crowds are thick, where do you find relief?
I find relief standing right next to that beer right there…
