I checked out Gideon Welles in Lincoln Square

A late night photo of Gideon Welles and the outdoor patio at Sunnyside and Lincoln. 

I met some long time neighborhood friends at the new Gideon Welles last night for Thursday Night Football.  The patio was rocking when I arrived just after 8pm.  The prominent corner location across from Welles Park is terrific.  Many of the bar windows and doors were open to the neighborhood on a muggy night.

I went with a refreshing Allagash White and hot wings (nice plate for $9.00).

I was more interested in the Packers game than taking photos (disaster!).  The screens were very good in the bar and the staff very welcoming.  The bartender was a pro.  My friends had already taken their families out on the patio for lunch late this summer after Welles Park ballgames.

We spend a lot of time in the neighborhood and look forward to making this a regular spot for games or outdoor eating by the park.
