| - The Inn-Termission is a total dive, but it's in the thick of the Southside insanity. Don't expect dive bar prices, or that friendly dive bar service.
I've never been a huge fan of the service at the Inn-Termission. You'll often have the bartenders looking at you (or ignoring you completely) as if they're doing you a favor. Mondays are okay, as Tommy is working, and if you wander in when it's completely dead, your experience will be good. Just don't be surprised if service is a little frustrating if you're not a regular.
In the dive bar spirit, clean bathrooms (or clean anything, for that matter) don't exist, and smoking is permitted, so thumbs up if you're a smoker, but the rest of us will be thankful for the fresh air when we leave. There's often live music on hand, and certain Mondays have kung fu karaoke, where there's an old school kung fu movie playing on a projector behind you. It's supposed to be a great time, as a lot of my friends go, but I can't deal with the smokiness to start my week.
In the end, the Inn-Termission's name is pretty on-point. It's never going to be the place that you go as your primary stop for a night in Southside, but it's a decent option for a place to stop in and buy a drink on your way to your main destination or in between bar hop stops.
