The last time J was there on a weekend afternoon (errands gone astray with editor C), a girl came in, sat down on a stool, ordered a whiskey, and then fell right off of said stool. "I'm not even drunk," she said. Haven't we all said that lie at some drunken point? The bartender was quick and decisive: picked the girl up, put her on a couch, took away her whiskey, and got her water.
So, it might not be a fancy place, but they know what to do with your drunk ass if it falls over. That's always nice. Plus they have Coors Original which no one ever has. It's like the forgotten cheap domestic beer.

I can't count how many times those $4 Red Bulls have effectively cancelled my afternoon plans. Not only do they have Coors Original, but it's one of the rare places that still serves Old German, the OG (no abbreviated pun intended) of cheap canned beer. I've seen it on the wall, but I've never seen it on the bar. But since it's on the wall near other product that they serve, I don't see why it wouldn't be in stock.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I think there was even an Old German poster on the cooler. Man, I put away a fair amount of Old German in college, but haven't had one since. -J
