| - I am a fan of this dive bar! It is what it is.... It could have the potential to be very smokey, I am a little weezy today, if it was packed with smokers I would not be able to stay, however I will return and hope for the best. The location is in a rough area, and as we stood outside there was deep contemplation, and we were both glad we returned and walked through the door!
The bartender she was great and I wish we got her name. Sometimes when you enter a neighborhood bar you could be made to feel like an outsider or perhaps a conversation is carried on before you are served. Not here, she acknowledged us right away and guided us to what was offered. I loved that she included the vodka special, $2 a shot! One cannot go wrong with that! She heard us talking about how hot we were, it was 108 outside and she suggested a table near the fan! The drinks we had were mixed great and we had huge smiles.... $6 for two drinks including a tip in Vegas!
There is a lot of cartoon artwork on the walls and those were fun to read. The bathroom was a walk down a hall and they were surprisingly remodeled and very clean. Yeah dive bar clean! There were collages of past events down the hall and people know how to live here!
There was a mixture of old timers and two of them encouraged to enter earlier in the evening. One bought us a drink and that really made us feel welcomed! Hipsters, musicians, unemployed, you will find it all here and everyone was happy. It is an old school down to earth bar I thought that disappeared.
They will be having some fundraisers for the theater and I hope to return for those. This is off the path, but I will return!
