I think I've died and gone to a Yelpers DYL heaven! While waiting for a cab after touring A Christmas Story House, we espied what looked like a little neighborhood bar just kitty corner to the leg-lamp-in-the-window home and decided to kill the time with a cold one considering it is always 5 o'clock somewhere.
Upon entering I immediately thought I had been transported to the VFW bar from Grumpy Old Men. With a long bar, the Simpson's pinball and Ms Pac-Man video game and bowling skeeter ball, we soon came to find that the place was half filled with friendly locals that all knew each others names.
After the initial shock of any domestic beer for a $1.25 the big jaw dropper for us was when we looked at all of their "top shelf" liquor. Each bottle had a price scrawled onto it with a black sharpie marker. Hennessy, Kettle One, Crown Royal etc. your choice $2.75, Freakin' unbelievable! Needless to say we sat and ordered doubles and my friend looking around said he may not have this chance again so he told the bartender to set 'em for the whole bar. As the patrons were most appreciative, the tab for 17 drinks came to $28.00. That's $28.00 dollars!
We smiled knowingly at each other as we knew we had found one of life's little diamonds in the rough nirvana. As I stared at the sign on the wall that said, Open at 5:30 A.M. I thought to myself; luckily for my liver this place is far from where I call home,
