Dude, some of the best nights were spent drinking up and down the main drag in Appleton (I recommend the Apple Bar, the Leg Lamp bar, the Irish Pub around the corner, or even the hotel bar if you’re not feeling like making the three minute walk. We’d even buy 30 packs of PBR at whatever the massive grocery store they’d drive us to and take over the underground pool area at the hotel. Maybe relax a little? You make it seem like you’re training for an Apollo mission or test pilot school. Maybe it’s changed since my AWAC days in 2015, but I’m inclined to think not. Be an adult, pay attention, and have some fun while you’re there.

There’s also the Appleton Curling Club... It’s a mile or so away, but if you roll in on a Saturday you can curl with the locals who are more than willing to share expertise and Miller Light. Just sayin...

And... the Irish Pub has live music. It’s across from the Police station, so don’t get rolled up.
