if i lived on the east side, this would be my bar. it is, as the other reviewer said, a total dive just steps from the beachland.
they only have domestics, along with a full bar (shots of black velvet, anyone?) and all the fried food you could ever want when you're drunk. i know this, because we ate here. and it wasn't bad! for what it was.
the clientele on friday night were the kind of bedraggled old dudes i expect hang at this place on a somewhat constant basis, and one of them definitely tried to take my friend and i home, though unsuccessfully. everyone was chatty and we definitely had plenty of conversations with the bartender and other drinkers about pretty much anything (lady gaga, jaegermeister, the paint in the bathroom, etc.) and a singalong to the spinners' "i'll be around."
the jukebox is the most eclectic one i've seen in a long time, as we were able to play en vogue, social d, marvin gaye, and a smorgasboard of other hits and misses.
everything is also cheap. a tab for 3 people - drinks, a round of shots, and food, was 29 dollars - granted, that means you're drinking high life and doing shots of god knows what whiskey, but hey! i'll treat my body like a circus for one night to experience this place.
