With all the travel we do, we have gathered many reviews of bars, pubs, restaurants, taverns and more. We are the quiet people watching, eavesdropping and we pay attention to every thing! We also have some opinions. I did not edit the audio in the episode so you can understand what I have to deal with 🤣 when having a conversation with the man. We are just sitting at our bar at home discussing what makes a bad review. Some places are good at one thing and suck at something else.

In Episode 9 of On the Bar Fly, we head back to one of our all-time favorite vacation spots — Key West, Florida 🌴🍹

If you’ve never been, go. Seriously.

Key West is like Vegas without the gambling and desert — sunshine, cocktails, characters, and just enough chaos to let you forget who you’re supposed to be for a while. From fake tattoos gone very wrong to a surprise encounter with Darth Vader, this trip delivered exactly what Key West does best: stories.

We mostly behaved… and somehow made it home with most of our dignity intact.

We talk about why we love the Keys, what makes Key West such a perfect escape, and why some places give you permission to loosen up, laugh at yourself, and lean into the moment.

Grab a drink and travel On the Bar Fly with us.

This episode of Travel On The Bar Fly we sit and reminisce about the gross alcohol options.

Back in the day is way back in the 70's and 80's, before we were legally allowed to drink alcohol. Yes we did it! We found the cheap stuff, we did it in secret and we threw up. What were you drinking back in the day? You could call them the good ole days but things were simpler and we were dumb and lucky to get out alive (a bit dramatic there) What were you drinking back in the days of sneaking around? onthebarfly.com

There was no travel in this episode as were in lock down. During the summer, we were alone, naked and drinking in the backyard.

After months of just us, we were Looking forward to be able to out again, but not the part of wearing pants again. We sit outside, having a few beers talking out leaving the house again. we also talk about donkey balls and shooting the dog ball. Basically this episode is about balls, and maybe some other stuff.

Recorded in summer of Covid-19 and Corona with lime.

In Episode 6 of On the Bar Fly, we serve up a quick and easy guide to infusing your own alcohol — because great cocktails don’t have to stay behind the bar.

We break down how to infuse tequila and vodka with jalapeños (because one of us likes it hot 🌶️), why it works, and how a simple infusion can instantly upgrade your home bar game.

Of course, it wouldn’t be On the Bar Fly without a bar story — including where we first got the idea and how it followed us home to the basement bar.

If you want to serve bold, flavorful cocktails with minimal effort, this episode might just change how you stock your liquor shelf.

In Episode 5 of On the Bar Fly, we share what might be the most important travel tip of all — during a pandemic or any global disaster:

Don’t travel.

This episode covers our journey home from overseas as the world began shutting down. The trip to Bangkok, Thailand and Sydney, Australia had been planned for months and was part of our yearly travel routine — and once the pandemic unfolded, everything changed fast.

We talk about the uncertainty, the constantly changing plans, and the nail-biting process of figuring out how to get home before borders closed and lockdowns began. Flights changed, routes shifted, and stress levels climbed — but we made it back just in time.

You’d think that would be the end of the adventure… but it wasn’t.

Lockdowns, quarantine, and even our vehicle being stuck in another country for weeks — racking up parking fees — became part of the story.

This episode is part travel tale, part cautionary reminder, and part real-time history of what it felt like to move through the world as it shut down.

In Episode 4 of On the Bar Fly, we share a collection of thoughts and stories that probably should’ve stayed inside our heads — but didn’t.

We admit that sometimes we have good ideas… and confidently confirm that none of them made it into this episode.

These stories are funny, stupid, and possibly a complete waste of time — yet here we are, putting them on the podcast anyway. Topics include knowing exactly what to do with frozen dog poo, questioning why bathrooms need instructional posters, debating the mankini (who is wearing it and why), and a surprise cameo from Harley, the jerky bird.

This episode proves two things:

1. We should not be left unsupervised.

2. If supervision is required, they might as well join in on the fun.

No travel. No tips. Just stories.

In Episode 3 of On the Bar Fly, we revisit an adventure that somehow keeps happening — ending up at a sex museum.

What started in New York City’s Museum of Sex (yes, that one — complete with the infamous dress and the sex bike) later resurfaced in Las Vegas, where beers, questionable decisions, a strip club, and the Penis Puppetry show all collided into one unforgettable night.

We talk about how we found ourselves in these places (again), the wild spots we stumbled into along the way, and how travel has a way of taking you exactly where you didn’t plan to go.

Along the way, we learned more than we expected, laughed harder than we should have, and once again proved that what happens On the Bar Fly doesn’t always stay in Vegas.
