I don't think proximity to a bar is necessarily a requirement for a good sprint location, I just love hanging out in bars. Plus Carly's at least is an actual restaurant, so you'd be able to attend an after-event booze-a-rama there. My wife and kid are planning on coming to the sprints at least, and I'm betting my kid is a bit younger than you.
That kid can hold liquor better than anyone else in his preschool phonics class.
