I finally made it here. Out of my element doesn't begin to describe it. Yeah, the two white people do stick out like a greased up naked guy wrestling an imaginary unicorn when wandering into this bar. I read the review by Philippe C. a long time ago and have been intrigued ever since. The lady behind the bar was really cool and tactfully pointed out the obvious by asking "What brought you two in here?"
We stayed for a couple drinks, b.s.'d with the bartender, watched a homeless guy dance to the music playing inside, and checked out the building since this was likely the only time I'll see this aspect of Las Vegas history.
I went to see history and was glad I did. In actuality, the bar is mediocre. But I went on a Sunday after the swap meet, so I what can you expect? As Philippe C mentioned, it would be tragic to lose this part of our history. So if you are compelled to do so, I recommend stopping by. There's no real reason not to.
Side note: there are some really cool church's around that even I can appreciate and am compelled to go back to.
