So as I sit here and watch the Cardinals win Game 1 of the World Series, I am thinking about how I was without a TV all last week when the Cardinals were playing for the National League Championship! The agony! Luckily Josie and Eric were up for going out to grab a drink and watch game 4 of the series so I looked at my "list" of places to go and noticed a bar called "Three Kings Public House" that opened this Spring in the Loop on Delmar across from the Tivoli Theater (replacing what used to be Riddles).
None of us had ever been, so it was fun trying someplace new. We got a great spot at a high table in the front bar area, with perfect views of the two TVs behind the bar to watch the game. It was a Wednesday night, but because of the Cards game, the bar area was packed with fans wearing red. Note that Three Kings just got a good review in Sauce Blog in regard to their bang-for-a-buck food, and there is also an entire dining area in the back area.

The beer menu at Three Kings was really appealing because they offered flights of 4 different beers. I always like trying a bunch of different types of beers rather than sticking to one, so this was right up my alley. There was a flight that had a good hoppy beer that I wanted to try, however it also came with a light wheat beer that I didn't really want to bother with. Luckily you can mix and match any four beers that you want, plus the waiters at Three Kings (imagine young, hippy, laid-back dudes) are awesome and offered to make me my own flight, full of all hoppy beers. What service!!! Our waiter brought back my custom-made flight and I loved every beer choice. Who knew that four hoppy beers could all taste so completely different. My definite favorite was a hoppy IPA called Maharaja. Soooo good!

We also ordered two appetizers to snack on while we watched the game. We first ordered the House Made Pub Chips served with Irish cheddar & "Winged Nut" ale fondue. It was awesome! The portion of chips was huge and the cheese dipping sauce was both smokey and a lit bit spicy, and absolutely delicious! I could've licked the bowl clean. We also ordered a Caprese Flatbread, which was flatbread topped with slices of tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. Really simple, and really good! The flatbread dough was cooked perfect, so it was chewy and doughy and not burnt or too crispy on the edges. Great game watching food!!!

Overall, I really enjoyed Three Kings (and yeah... the Cardinals winning helped a little too) I would recommend trying it out to watch a game and grab some beer and appetizers, or to actually go there for dinner to try something more substantive on their yummy and reasonably priced menu... I'm looking at you burger with provolone cheese on a pretzel bread roll!
