I have a goal of traveling so far off the beaten path that I find a restaurant called “Eat” (or “Food”), a strip club called “Girls Girls Girls”, and a bar called “Bar”.
Has anyone actually been to a bar called “Bar”? Just curious - I’d like to see if one exists.
I’d also like to hear some great dive-bar stories. What’s the dingiest, grimiest, most soul-sucking establishment you’ve ever walked into?

Besides my X-Wife’s kitchen?
I’ve been to a place called “That Bar”, which was as lame as the name implies. From what I remember, it was only around for 5 years or so.

not too far off the beaten path
the others i can’t help you with
Do other languages count? Mexican food restaurants have the worst names when translated to English. There are actually ones that translate to “Food” or “The food”.

Ok, this is a funny thread…I want to share, hope you find my bars funny as well.
Most ironic bar I’ve ever gone to was the “DEAD GOAT SALOON” in Salt Lake City, Utah, “home of the blues”…not to be critical but the only blues were having to listen to these extremely white people in every sense of the word ( I’m white myself so I understand).try to “wail” the blues…having been to kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, etc Blues bars, this was like really, really bad karoke…yet the patrons raved about how good and authentic the “blues” were!
I come from a small town in Oklahoma, at one time had two bars, both called “The Bar”, however one was known as the Bad bar, due to fights, adultry, etc…the other was the Good Bar…they served food and only beer…after about 5 years they renamed the one bar the “BAD BAR”…the other became the “pub”
Went to a place in Cicero Chicago, called the “strip joint” cab driven wouldn’t stop, just slowed down…the place looked like a bad movie, junkie, nasty and behind the “stage” (which was just a platform about 8 inches tall) was one of those huge industrial fans, it was turning slow, but generating a breeze…waitress comes over and brings us our drinks ( we hadn’t ordered yet, but the place had a two drink minimum so they just brought you two beers without even asking)…I asked her " Damn what is that smell?"…she doesn’t miss a beat a yells
“GoTdaymit Peggy, I told you not to fucking dance until you cleaned your nasty ass up”…the smell was “peggy who was on stage in front of the fan”…we left…hahahahaha…(everytime I see than damn credit card commercial with Peggy I can still smell that smell!)[/quote]
In Caldwell, West Virginia is a place off route 60 near Lewisburg that is known only by two signs. One says eat the other says beer. Never was hungry enough to go inside.
Most strip clubs called showgirls…
No I haven’t.
But the restaurant with the weirdest name that I’ve been to is this one:
It’s called Rolling Pot. They serve Shabu Shabu.
There’s two strip clubs I’ve been two that were by far the most dangerous places I’ve been.
One was this place called “Showplace” in Dover. It was full of bikers, Mexicans, and Russians, and it was pretty fucking awful.
I was drinking a glass worth of whiskey when I heard the bartender lean over to some guy and say, “You see that girl? She sixteen.”
It was pretty terrible.
The worst place I’ve ever been was Fifth Ave Lounge in Paterson. It’s the grimiest, most dangerous kind of place right in the heart of the ghetto. Every other guy at that bar had just gotten out of or had spent significant time in Passaic County jail, which is the hardest county lockup around.
It was just a dangerous, dangerous place.
Been to a bar called “Roadhouse”.

Yes, there is a bar called “Bar” in Midland, Texas. Has a 10 foot stuffed brown bear in it and good looking wait staff.
Been there about 100 years I think. Old west meets oil town.

Well, the Russians own the joint. The Victory Gardens section of Randolph (yes, it’s in Randolph, not Dover) is very Hispanic (mostly Puerto Ricans, not Mexicans there) and there is a pretty big custom bike shop just up the road in Dover.
As for the 16 year old, her mother probably works in the Kmart or the Pizza Hut across the street, so she has a ride to work.

There’s one in New Haven, CT.
“Spanish Moon” by Little Feat tells it best.
That is fucking revolting! I love it.

My bad. I knew it was right by the Randolph/Dover border but it’s been a lotta years since I been there.
I do know Dover though, it’s pretty ghetto. So was this crowd.

Did your band play there, and were you separated from the crowd with a chain-link fence designed to block beer bottles (a la “Roadhouse”)?
