The bar also offers specialized beers, wine, cappuchino and some food Dave House, Tm Battauo major, serves one of the 14 beers Gooked By April Towery The Battalion S ometimes you wanna go where every body knows your name. Crooked Path Ale House on Northgate is bringing a friendly bar atmos phere to Aggieland. Manager David Harger said Crooked Path hopes to target people who want to enjoy good, fresh beer, wine and champagne. “When I was younger, I drank for quantity," Harger said. “Now I drink for quality. We hope that the people who come here will be looking for quality.” Crooked Path opened for business Aug. 23, and Harger said it has had a good response. “We already have a few regulars,” Harger said. “I’ll buy them a beer — we try to give them good treatment." The bar has a travel theme, which owners Don and Cheryl Anz chose because of their travel experiences. “We went to Europe and really liked the ale houses there,” Don Anz said. “We drove by Northgate Cafe one day and noticed it was for lease, so we checked it out. It had the English style beams and windows, and the brick front that made it look like a pub.” The bar has taken on a sophisticated char acter because the employees plan to strictly enforce a 21 and up policy. “Our customers just come in, sip on a beer, read a magazine or just talk,” Harger said. “We’ve already had several people say, ‘This is going to be my bar, where I’ll hang out.’” Cheryl Anz said their involvement in the Northgate Revitalization project makes Northgate an important location for them. “We want to be a part of improving the Northgate area,” Cheryl Anz said. “We were stu dents here ourselves, so it means a lot to us.” The Anzes hope to make the bar more accessible with the addition of a 153-space parking lot next August. “We plan to have a supervised, land scaped, free parking lot so that people can get a ticket and walk around Northgate with out having to park six blocks away in the mud,” Don Anz said. Crooked Path features 20-ounce imperia pints, instead of the usual 16-ounce. Vostoftht beer is micro-brewed and unpasteurized. H* bar also serves coffee, espresso, cappuccint non-alcoholic beer, soda and pink lennnade. n the near f may have ii musician.
