Okay, so I am really behind the 8-ball here. It has been a really busy and crazy couple of weeks. Last weekend was my turn. I had heard about a new pub opening on post near our house. An old quarters for traveling officers and dignitaries was renovated into a pub and event center. The building, called Pace Hall, sits near the Pershing Gate on post, overlooking Northeast El Paso. The building was beautiful with a huge double-sided, fireplace taking up the center of the room. All the wood work was restored to its original glory. I had to do some research on the pub because it is only open from 5-10 on Friday nights right now. This gave us a narrow window, but after the gym we scrubbed up and headed over for a beer. The pub had two beers on draft, plus a nice variety of bottled beer and mixed drink options, along with wine. We opted for a raspberry wheat beer which was really good. They also had complimentary popcorn which was delicious. A small menu was also available (we will have to try this next time). One of the employees offered to take us down into the basement of the building where Italian prisoners of war used to be held during World War II. The cells were still standing, and the whole basement had a very eerie aura. After the tour, we talked with Colonel Dayley, Garrison Commander, for awhile. There were only a few other groups of people there. It was a very nice, relaxing evening. We will definitely be going back.
