I would choose to turn around and walk out the door. Too many large Televisions=too much ****ing noise. Why do people think you need to be bombarded with music, videos, and constant electronic diversions? Plus, the place looks cold and trendy. Pass.

And I don't get why (mostly young) people constantly have ear buds or headphones on, out in public, walking around like that. I don't get it. My buddy's kid, who is 45, always has headphones on for phone calls or whatever else, I'm not even sure and don't care. He'd call me and be banging with a ****ing hammer or making some other racket and I can't even hear him. The "noise" overwhelms his voice. I bitched at him all the time, and I think his old man did too, so it's been better recently. |

I'm with GTOguy. I want peeling linoleum, a battle scarred bar livened up with cigarette burns, a fat, sweaty guy named Al wearing a dirty t-shirt behind the bar, a row of name brand bottles that's all bullshit because Al fills them with hooch with a funnel he keeps behind the bar next to his baseball bat, the mirror behind the bottles is cracked and dirty and is still decorated for Christmas 1982 because Al doesn't see the use of taking the stuff down. There should be three or four booths (for the ladies), but they had better have cracked Naugahyde benches. The phone booth in the dark, narrow hall leading to the restrooms hasn't had a phone on the end of the cord since Reagan was in office. The restrooms are the type where you do what needs to be done and you get out before you catch something. That's what I want from a neighborhood bar. |

I never really was a big bar patron, but I don't like them now because I have difficulty hearing in noisy environments. In a non noisy environment, I hear just fine, doesn't have to be whisper quiet, just a low din vs. really noisy with music, people shouting, laughing, etc.
Then again, even when I did like to do happy hour, we always frequented the places that offered free food and discounted drinks. Mexican restaurants with bars used to do that in this area. For the price of one or two beers, I ate, socialized, and the people who stayed to continue to pound drinks made the whole thing profitable for the restaurants/bars. I don't know if that's even still a thing these days. |

Every 5 taps goes to the same keg, customers are too dumb to recognize. They'll taste what they want to imagine.

Nothing remotely close to that now out in the boonies, but it was fun at the time. |

How to choose? Easy. Start at one end and slowly work your way around. In my earlier days there was a local pub which offered 112 labels... and myself and a bud eventually tried them all. The pub issued a discount card and wall photo for the "100% Club" members.

And when I've reached my limit I'll hit the men's room a little tipsy before leaving and grasp my left thumb in my right hand and piss in my pants. |

The bar I drank at in high school had no draught, limited bottom-shelf liquor, barmaid was 50+, and pissing in the parking lot was encouraged.
Jukebox sucked, it took more than it gave. |
