Shipley’s Tavern and the Madison Home Tour

The girls drug us along for the Christmas home tour on Friday night. Originally Mendy and Heidi said we could wait at the tavern while they toured the homes. Using better judgement, they adjusted to go on the tour and maybe skip the last couple of houses and go to the tavern. (Probably a good idea.)

The 🎄 Christmas trees at Lanthier Winery and the beautifully decorated homes were impressive and fun to see. Then, Bruce and mine’s instructions were to drink a 🍺 beer at the Mad Paddle and then order food at Shipley’s. So, we had a tasty pint each of Blood 🍊 Orange for $14. Then we had a pint each of Amber Bock at Shipley’s for $3.50. We like the Mad Paddle, but we may make a business decision next time and stick with Shipley’s Tavern. On a side note, Shipley’s has been there since 1867.

The Ricketts home is on the left with a beautiful 🌅 sunset on the Ohio River. Also, the smoke stacks on the right.
Bruce ordered appetizers at Shipley’s. Fried cauliflower, but these 🥨 pretzels that look like giant 🐛 caterpillars were excellent!
The 🥓 bacon cheese 🍔 burger topped with grilled 🧅 onions on a toasted bun hit the spot.
