Belle Island Yacht Club, Belle Isle

I took the Sunrail to its southern terminus last night. They still try and poison you with fumes from the tracks and distract you with incessant jibber jabbering in English and Spanish on avoiding distractions. Like incessant jibber jabbering? The purpose of the journey was to try out Belle Isle. The guy from the Sentinel had a piece a few months back on a train bar crawl he did. He stopped here last. It wasn't to bad of a trek from the station. About five hundred yards. All sidewalked. Not dangerous. Look for the Subway sandwich sign and you'll know about how far to go. There is Gnarly Barley and Le Baern Stuben to eat at (at McD's and BK) if you must.

The bar has an enclosed front patio and small area inside, They have a good selection of craft beers. It was pretty empty. They are closed during the day and on Sunday nights. I found out the hard way as I've been popping in unsuccessfully for the better part of their existence (one or two years). It's a friendly place to blow off some steam. It's proximity to the train could make it an option for most of CF. Leave your Sperry's at home. It's not really a yacht club.
