| - oh my sweet lordy. if you wanna talk about a dive bar, Bamboozles delivers. I'd probably rate it higher if my memory was clearer from that night, but let's patch together what I do recall.
- cheap-ass drinks. I asked for a Yuengling and was told it'd be 4 bucks. okay, not bad. yeah, but it was a 20-ouncer (a British pint) - the express from Drunk Central Station is now boarding on track 20!
- lots of space. it's in the basement of a building. small dance/stage area, plenty of tables, a huge bar, and even a small outdoor patio (mostly for smokers).
- decent music. DJ was playing a mix of 80s, 90s and current tunes. including, but not limited to, "The Humpty Dance" by Digital Underground.
- a wide array of characters. but the winners had to be the stunt doubles of Dolph Lundgren, Rick Moranis, and Snooki though!
- some old-ass video and pinball games.
- and what would a dive bar be without some odd quirk that only the regulars would understand? in this case, a big ol' bell that they ring every so often. I honestly can't remember what it was for. someone explained it to me, but my train had already left to Drunksville...
