I like pub-grub sitting at the bar with a beer when I have to eat alone. \n\nSo, I sat at the bar and ordered food and a beer. Shortly thereafter, a couple with a child came in and sat at a nearby table to have dinner. The loudmouth, headache-inducing, barmaid took their order and proceeded to go into a shtick of profanities as if she were an Asian prostitute. \"OOOOH ME LOVE YOU LONG TIME\"... that kind of thing. Only the language got much worse... even though there was a child present.\n\nThen, while this was all going on one of the more colorful denizens started to chat me up. The guy looked like a bum and just plain smelled. My dinner didn't even come before he was trying to sell me drugs.\n\nThere are only a couple other places in this small town to set at the bar and have a beer. But they are nice. You need to consider one of those first."^^ . "2012-02-04T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . . "5"^^ .
