Fan in San Diego Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 'Gin Mill' has to be a WNY expression. I've never heard it used anywhere else. Have any of you heard that expression elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Paulson Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Good Times in Depew was the local gin mill before heading out to the city- Old Pink, New Pink, Broadway Joes, Nietzches Icon, Toons, No Names etc. i believe Gin Mill is a mostly local term. when i use it out of state most people are clueless. drinkers understand it but it is not commenly used out of WNY. i love that term- Gin Mill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzer32 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Gin Mill, Watering Hole, the place where I get my mail.....all one in the same. Thirsty's in Pittsford, NY. A definite classic for locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I mainly used to go to Old and New Pink (is that even still around?), Brick Bar, Icon, Colter Bay and Coles. Then a few out in the Southtowns like Rappls (RIP- now Ganers) and Inn Cahoots. I moved to San Francisco just before the whole Chippewa thing, so it's completely different now. There are 10 times the amount of bars and restaurants now. When I go back, I'm starting to feel too old for Chippewa, I go to some of the Elmwood bars and I still hit Colter Bay, Old Pink and Coles. Those places have not changed at all, luckily. Mothers is great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about the Gate. I hit that one too. The wings there are great. I usually start at Colter Bay then wander to the Gate at some point.
