My friends drink here. Not in this universe, my friends actually think this place is too expensive, and kind of boring... but in an awesome parallel universe my real friends love it here. \n\nMy ideal friend that will share in a love of pub quizzes microbrews and crossword puzzles with me hangs out here. \n\nMy friend who finds beauty in the leather couches and big screen tv hangs out here. \n\nMy friend who appreciates the Man-Caviness of it all hangs out here - all the time actually. \n\nMy friend who doesn't like waiting 30 minutes to get a drink and needn't show the suppleness of her breasts to \""get some f**king service around here\"" is a big fan of this place. \n\nMy friend who knows about my freaky unnatural love of outdoor drinking arenas and either entertains it, or shares in it doesn't hang out anywhere but here. \n\nMy friends who know that a night out should mean you get to dress down, not dress up hangs here. He mostly wears flannels and has a beard, or at least some stubble.\n\nMy friend who appreciates the fine art of conversation that gets a little racy but because no one is taking shots never ends in an embarrassingly scandalous evening is there. \n\nMy friend who goes to beer festivals because her boyfriend is a home brewer - yea, she hangs out here too. She even brought me a six-pack of Aidan's (that's his name) prizewinning home brew. It's a little bitter, but good. \n\nWhen I go into Pear Tree I see all of these potential friends. And I love them like they were actually my own.
