Connie Bear @ Black Bear Tavern, Deep Creek Lake, MD
Wow, maybe you should cut back on the shine if bears are serving you drinks
at a bear bar!
It's a neat little placeover looking the ski slopes at Wisp & Deep Creek Lake and she is a great bartender who has worked there ever since I found the place on the site finder. And the area is full of black bears, incuding her yard. I saw a hundred pounder or so when fishing...Bear Creek...two years ago & made as much noise as possible on the way back to my car.
Unfortunately, there was another bartender there, Zack, who played trivia and I was helping with his fly casting & fly tying, who was killed in an auto accident four years ago. He was getting ready to work with troubled youth in an Outward Bound type program.
They also have t-shirts that they sell there that state "I'm not a hillbilly, I'm an Appalachian American", as well as one that says "DEA-Drinking Every Afternoon"!
Heading up there Saturday...Fat Tire on tap and a lake front motel with a fireplace and balcony within moderate stumbling distance. Some decent trivia players, but Monday's are their big day when they team up to make the late afternoon Eastern split boards.
