80. Have you seen our Two Cents?
It debuted at OnMilwaukee.com's Annual Bartender Olympics at The Wherehouse last month. And since then copies of our first print partnership have been flying off the shelves.
81. An American beer on St. Patrick's Day?
It's no secret that I love Guinness. Always have. Even before they seriously upped the ante with the widget in a can (and then in a bottle). But this St. Patrick's Day, I suggest you give an American beer a try.
82. My goodness, my Guinness
St. Patrick's Day reminds me that my darling of draughts is good 'ol Guinness. Beer snobs may snicker at my pedestrian taste, but I don't need my beer explained to me in order to take pleasure in it.
83. Don't miss your chance to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with Guinness
Before you join the throngs of revelers this St. Patrick's Day, take a second to RSVP to the biggest party of them all: Guinness' global St. Patrick's Day party and world record attempt. OnMilwaukee.com and Guinness have teamed up to get you in, and all it costs is a few clicks and a glass of Guinness. (And, let's face it, you were going to drink one anyway. Why not make it count?)
84. Be safe and save some green this St. Patrick's Day
Nothing says "drinking holiday" quite like St. Patrick's Day. Whether you're hitting up your local Irish standby or bar crawling into the wee hours of the morning, however, this is no occasion to get behind the wheel of a car. Just to make sure the thought doesn't cross your alcohol-addled brain, MillerCoors and the Milwaukee County Transit System have teamed up once again to provide free bus service Saturday, March 17.
85. The countdown is on to join Guinness' World Record St. Paddy's party
With one week left until the big green party that is St. Patrick's Day, you may or may not already have your itinerary of Irish cheer in place. Either way, you can still sign up for the biggest St. Paddy's Day celebration on earth.
86. Bomb Shelter owner passed away
Greg Landig, the owner of The Bomb Shelter, passed away on Friday.
87. Sleeping with a dead hooker: A night at the haunted penthouse
A couple weeks ago I took a behind-the-scenes look at Shaker's Cigar Bar, Milwaukee's historic - and notoriously haunted - Walker's Point bar. This past weekend, I got even more up close and personal with an overnight stay in the building's third floor haunted penthouse.
88. Fanatics Sports Central is "closed for maintenance"
According to a sign on the door, Fanatics Sports Central, 185 N. Jefferson, is "closed for maintenance." At this point, the owners are unavailable for comment.

89. Sprecher's Black Bavarian makes "24 Best Beers in America" list
Men's Journal is out with its list of "The 24 Best Beers in America," and Milwaukee's own Sprecher makes it with its tasty Black Bavarian.
90. The bartender's five-letter word
You hear it often, in some bars more than others. Usually the word makes an appearance once a bar patron is a few drinks in. Sometimes it's uttered within minutes of bellying up to the bar. It elicits mixed reactions from bartenders everywhere, and I guarantee you've used it yourself.

100. Memoirs of a bartender
Bar month has me gooey and nostalgic over a really great time in my life. All too long ago ... in actuality (gulp) an entire decade heretofore ... I was in the throes of the service industry, living life as a Milwaukee bartender. The years spent slinging booze behind the bar are some of the fondest, most carefree and lucrative of my life.
