Pollock's


At first, this seemed like any other yinzer dive bar in the city. It had a few regulars, a limited (but very cheap) beer selection, and it's a little run down. But, by the end of our beers, we realized that this place was much worse than an everyday yinzer bar.     

The whole place reeked of urine. We became paranoid; were we sitting in urine? No, the answer is that the men's room was so soaked through with urine that its smell permeated the bar. J was trepidatious about the women's room. She chose to hold it until the next bar. This is the kind of bar where there is a padlock on the toilet paper dispenser so that the patrons don't steal it.

But still, at least the beer was cheap and you can't mess up a beer, right? Wrong. See the photo evidence showing all the disgusting stuff at the bottom of J's beer that, of course, she didn't see it until it was too late. The beer had been ingested and with it unknown levels of disgusting bar grossness.

So, to recap: smells like urine, patrons can't be trusted with TP, disgusting shit at the bottom of your beer. This one is not going to the top of our list.
