Best nights: Wed, Thurs, Friday?! This is an outrage! How is Tuesday $2.50 pitcher night not the best?
Things I love in a bar: tiny, dive-y, cheap beer in large quantities, smoking inside, great bartenders. Oh wait, that's the perfect description of Gene's.
Don't try to talk to Gene outside of the bar. Even if he knows your name and your favorite drink he'll pretend he doesn't know you during daylight. That just adds to this place's level of perfection.
