Everyone wants a bar like you see on tv.
Where everyone knows your name and your drink.
This was what The Plaza was to me and my friends back in college. Sure it was a dive bar but it was THE dive bar. We sunk all of our extra money into this place (which translates to selling your books back to the University Bookstore for beer money). It was worth every penny.
Home of the Plaza burger.
Air hockey.
Real phone booth.
Plastic darts.
Best jukebox.
Pool tables with actual pool sharks that brought their own schticks.
Plaza burger with special sauce and FRIED CHEESECURDS!
Best bartenders in town.
Holy macaroni I miss this place.
They used to have drink specials every night of the week. I remember my friends and I would each get a pitcher of Red Hook. That would set each of us back only about $3. My all time favorite drink back in the day was the Long Island Iced Tea. Tuesdays they had two for one $2 Long Islands. When you're a girl and with a plan of action jackson these were the answer.
Thank you Plaza for nearly getting me kicked out of college.
Thank you Plaza for putting me into the major leagues of drinking.
Ahmen.
