Welcome to Business Travel Fun!

New - Business Travel Fun is on Twitter. Please select the link on the Left side of this page and let me know what you think of an article you have read on Business Travel Fun, or recommend a place for me to visit.

I've been on the road again a lot lately. Please check back often for Washington DC, Chesapeake & Virginia Beach articles, New York City, and as always, I am always finding places in the Charleston SC area. Please Check out the Site Search Link at the top of each Business Travel Fun page. The Site Search allows you to search the articles on the site and also displays a map that you can click on to go straight to the Articles for the State that was chosen.

Business Travel Fun is a Travel site dedicated to providing Unbiased and Independent Reviews of Restaurants, Bars, and other places of interest for the weary Business Traveler. What does this mean? Well, it’s simple. The weary Business Traveler, like me, often does not have time to research the many towns and cities they find themselves in for a place to eat or to relax. They often get to a destination they know nothing about, sometimes late, and all they have to choose from on the internet is your basic commercial mega-sites that list Restaurants and Bars in the area. If you’re lucky, someone may have left an Opinion on the site which may lead you to or away from a place. You do not know if there is a financial interest behind the person writing the Opinion, and more times than not, there is nothing of value there. Business Travel Fun is written by a Traveler for the Traveler with straight shooting no holes barred Opinions, and no ownership or financial interest in any of the places reviewed. The places targeted are non-Chain places, and unique, Mom & Pop places.

Why would a busy Business Traveler spend the time to do this? The main reason is this - I know what it is like to Travel to a place that is unfamiliar. I search the Yellow Pages or the Internet for a Restaurant or a Bar only to find a listing of names, but no way of telling if they are anything I’d be interested in. Then when I do decide on a place, many times it turns out not being worth the trek out because the service or the food was sub par. The purpose of Business Travel Fun is to fill this gap by providing trustworthy Unbiased advice on a place before you get in your car and go there. You can be sure that I do not take bribes, and I do not announce myself before I go to a place. That way I get regular treatment and can write an Unbiased Independent Review.

But Business Travel Fun provides a little more than just an Opinion about a place. Each Review displays a list of highlights that captures offerings like Live Entertainment, Pool Tables or Video Games, NTN Trivia, and Karaoke. So at a glance you can see what they have there to do. Additionally, each Review has a rating table that rates each place on different criteria. This way you can see what a regular guy thinks about the place, and you can make an informed decision on whether or not you want to go there or try something else. Lets face it, you’re already away from home and probably tired and hungry – who wants to go out to a place and come back unhappy because it didn’t have what you were looking for, or worse the food or service was terrible?

Business Travel Fun is written primarily for the Business Traveler, but it is also useful to anyone just looking for a fair and honest Opinion about a place in their area too. If you disagree with an Opinion given, or maybe a Bar or Restaurant owner, please drop me a line by clicking on my name at the bottom of each page

To help you understand what you may find in the Articles, allow me to explain what I like to do when I am on-the-road.  I like to visit those little out of the way Mom and Pop, hole-in-the-wall Dive Pubs.  I find the people are really down to earth and friendly in these types of establishments.  I also like eating at places that are not franchises.  Restaurants that are owned locally, or better yet, Mom & Pop Restaurants that you can only go to in one place or a localized area are my favorites  I also like beer, specifically Heineken.  I have been playing NTN Trivia in Bars for about 10 years now, so I tend to gravitate towards Bars, Pubs, and Restaurants that provide NTN Trivia.  I also like Live Entertainment and Karaoke.  Casinos are another area of interest for me.  I love to play Craps, Let it Ride, and slots.  I hope you enjoy the site.
