It's cheap as hell, it's dirty and it's smoky even on a Monday night. The decor is pretty dive-bar standard: drop-ceilings and dust. The bartender very nicely wiped down the entire bar area in front of us when we sat down. We doubt the regulars such treatment.
There were a fair number of people there for a Monday and a group of guys playing pool. We were out of place there for sure. Mostly it seems like the place you get your cheap six packs from, or where you buy 40s when you're underage. They did not have Jameson, which is a big strike against a bar as far as we’re concerned.

A dive bar without Jameson is like a motorcycle with training wheels. You can get to your destination, but it's going to be a little too safe.
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea what you are talking about boyo.
DeleteNot having Jameson is still a step better than having a bottle of Jameson filled with Banker's Club.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Excellent point. No Jameson's is better than fake Jamesons.
DeleteIf you have been back to Eire six times,as I have,then you might know what you are talking about.But you don't now do you? Boyo!
