I had forgotten most of the details of that first night at the Essen Haus. I got to have one of the glass boots there (half-filled, sadly enough) a few day before my wedding. Those around me had the new half-sized version that is plastic, which looks ridiculous next to the real deal. This made me laugh out loud.

And two bucks. I’ve never drunken anything out of a boot, but I once consumed beer straight out of a 10 gallon hat (does not work well).

I love Mercy Corps. Somewhere here in the house I still have my 1L 29th Street Cafe mug from my USC days. It's seems very likely that I put enough into that bar to get a little something as a parting gift. Here's a tip, tuck your shirt in and put the mug in your shirt under your big winter coat.

I used to wash dishes at this place. At the time I was not yet 21 yet either. After a heavy night of drinking, I somehow ended up back in the kitchen with the manager who had just called the cops on me... To make a long story short, I also tried to steal a mug(not someones personal mug but a nice bar mug) , took the sensor of the bottom first though and still got busted on the way out.. I got out of it after I told the manager I wasn't 21 yet, he was pissed. I ran like the dickens! Oh.. this brings back so many memories.

Great place... Best polka in town, I'm sure. ...can't say I've been back since I got food poisoning, but I'd go back in a heartbeat, at least for the beer. The place has a great atmosphere, and everyone talks to each other there. Madison is a great beer town, and I miss it dearly. Ahhh the Essen Haus. Great place… Best polka in town, I’m sure.

Not only am I jealous that I have not drank out of a glass boot in memory of my German ancestors, but I can empathize with a nostalgic and epic return to your favorite pub of long ago! I wish there was a place like that Portland! I appreciate this story!
