I am so bad at updating in a timely manner. My deepest apologies for all of you many readers who have been waiting for more bloodies. <\/p>\n

For all those who have been waiting with baited breath, here you go. Chill 443<\/a> is a new restaurant that opened inside the Wyndham Garden hotel in Niagara Falls, NY. The building recently went through a renovation to turn the icky Days Inn with a Denny’s downstairs into the fancy Wyndham with Chill 443 for your drinking and dining pleasure. We started going late in the summer as they started hosting Trivia With A Twist pub trivia nights. They are a new company out of Ohio who just expanded their trivia services into WNY. I must toot my\/our own horn here and admit that we take first place quite often. Often, as in, every time we’ve gone. So we keep winning gift certificates, and keep going back. Plus the food is decent, the beer selection is good, and they give a discount to locals. <\/p>\n

Our last visit I noticed they had a fully stocked selection of Bloody Mary garnishes, so I asked our friendly bartender Richard<\/del> Phil (he looks like a Richard!) to make me up a drink. <\/p>\n

Chill 443<\/p><\/div>\n

Chill features a house made mix that they spike with vodka to preserve. It was garlicky and spicy with a secret ingredient: pineapple. I’ve had a few others with pineapple before, and if done right, it does provide an interesting addition to the overall taste. Too much makes it too sweet for me, but this one had the right balance. Garnished with 2 strips of crispy bacon, 3 olives (one stuffed with blue cheese), and pepperoncini this cocktail was much better than I was expecting from a hotel bar on a Wednesday. Bravo to Phil (who also made me a great bourbon cocktail because I wanted to try walnut bitters, and I don’t even like bourbon.) <\/p>\n

Stop in and check them out if you’re near by. And if it’s a Wednesday, prepare to get your butt kicked \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
