#BarMadness15: The Foamy Four!

This is the part of the tournament where things get exciting and cruel, all in the same tourney: where fortunes are lost and fortunes are made. Where dreamers dare to dream, despite the staggering odds, and where legends are made.

A collective breath held, a gasp– a ringing cry in the dark. Follow me as we reveal which bars still stand in our bracket.

Craziness.

Are you at least a little surprised? So are we! Apart from previous winner the pug, all three bars in the Foamy Four are newcomers! While Little Miss Whiskey’s and Justin’s Cafe have been open for a few years (LMW since about 2009; Justin’s in 2010), and therefore have more established followings, the true surprise of the tournament has been rookie Sol Mexican Grill, which has only been around since 2013. All four tournaments were particularly sticky: we wondered whether seasoned vet the pug would be able to dethrone strong contender the Queen Vic. Little Miss Whiskey’s had no problem arm-wrestling Trusty. Sol Mexican Grill proved to be spicier than stalwart Tunnicliffs. But nothing prepared us for the death match that ensued  between the Big Board and Justin’s Cafe. I will let the number of votes alone speak for me:

That’s right: this poll alone saw a grand total of  2,216 votes! We love how passionate you are about your favorite bars, and I’d like to take the time to thank you all, both readers and bars, for taking the time to play along with us and making this the best #BarMadness contest yet! A huge round of applause to the exiting contestants: we love you!

But now, we vote: you have until April 4th at 11:59 pm to pick your final two contestants in this year’s BAR MADNESS! We are down to the wire: which bar will reign supreme?
