Is This Your Business?
 

Cruisy neighborhood sports bar that's been around since dirt; attracts the well-to-do and the not well at all. Easy place to kick back. Weekends they show movies (2) in the morning. Weekend nights get wild. Better bartenders are: Lone Star, Little John, Lloyd, Criss, Tony, Scottish Gerry, Felix and John. Attitude abounds, and the bartenders serve it up with zest, each with their own "peculiar style". Vichai and Don, the owners, are each rather strange birds and you'll enjoy meeting and drinking with them.
Crowd: People with mucho money, no money, hustlers, sports fans (3 TV's), drinkers.
