One and Done Tour

After spending Thursday night with my sisters watching a drag show (queens, not cars) Friday was spent recovering after combat shopping.  (more on that later, maybe)

Saturday night inspired my sister, Heather, to take me on a tour of some of the questionable places in Fort Wayne.  Most people would referee to these places as dives, but they are more than that.  Most are small neighborhood joints that cater to a small, yet surprisingly diverse, clientele.  The only criteria was no cover charge.

I was going to go into detail about each places, but ADHD is a bitch.  So, all the places were pretty much the same.  They were dark with beer limited to the standard domestics. The entertainment was either karaoke or some guy playing CDs on a stereo.  So, I'll just give a few awards.

Best Beer O'Sullivan.  They have Guinness on tap.  'nough said.
Worst Beer The Rock.  Domestics served in cans. 'nough said.

Best Smell Broadway Joe's.  Not sure what the were spraying, but it masked everything unpleasant.
Worst Smell  It's a tie.  The sewer gas odor at The Rock was a little off putting  While the distinct herbal smell at was enough to turn tail and find another place.


Best Bathroom Fatboy's.  It had lockable multiple stalls, which was a rare find that night.  It was also very clean and there were plenty of supplies for wiping and washing up.
Worst BathroomCurly's.  Where to begin.  OK, the vomit on the floor. It was hard to see on the red carpet on the floor, but the smell was unmistakable.  Not able to rest on their laurels, the shiny silver wall paper knocked any all other rest stops off the map.  

Special Hot Bar Tender Award Uncle Lou's Steel Mill.  You might want to stop by and see for yourself.
