This Place Has Character

So I went to this place on a Saturday. They had a live band called "The Garage Band" playing some rocking, excellent cover tunes. I mean these guys were good! Robin Trower, AC/DC, even Weezer! It was small, but the place was packed! We couldn't get a seat, standing room only. The drinks were EXCELLENT! Price was good too...I paid only $4.00 for my rum and coke, my friend paid only $3.00 for a beer AND NO COVER CHARGE!

Ok, so I got a little tipsy, the bartender was very helpful in getting us a cab. I went in the next day to get my car (and for a little hair of the dog). There was a male bartender working, a big guy. Boy is he ever entertaining! He has a very unique way of shaking his bloody mary's. He was dancing around, acting goofy. I just sat there watching the free show for hours!

All in all, the place was sooo much fun. I'm definately going back!

Not bad for a dive, or Lake City

This place is seriously tiny but they have a pool table, foose ball and darts(but the machine is slightly broken). As far as tiny dives go this one fits the mold: if you come in with a good atitude the regulars will accept you. If not don't expect to feel anything but unwanted. The bar tender lady was pretty hot by normal standards and a complete fox compared to some of the monsters you'll find attached to the bar stools on Lake City. Also, look out for the holes under the bar stools, they are deep enough to swallow part of the leg and throw you off.
