| - shady's is totally overrated. it's always crowded and usually everyone is a pretentious prick thinking they're mingling with some Dionysian denizens. the bartenders are kind of dicks too. once they even kicked me out for having a sleeveless shirt on, in the middle of july (wtf isn't this a dive bar?). also, it's expensive, hardly any room to sit, and hard to play pool without jamming the cue into someone.
but, they do have absinthe, which is pretty good here. and probably the best jukebox in phoenix (a real one, not the video ones that all bars have these days).
it looks like a ski lodge in colorado inside, or something. you kind of expect some creepy old dude to walk out with a robe and a cigar in his hand sipping scotch on the rocks, which i guess could either be totally cool, or the opposite of that. i also kind of expect to see stuffed animal heads hanging on the walls, which also isn't bad, necessarily. just weird.
we try not to come here very often, but every now and then it's alright, i suppose.
