The Grizzled Wizard in Wallingford bills itself as the "most extreme dive in the Multiverse." The place is simple and small, and the drinks are cheap, and the (electronic) darts are free. But the Griz Wiz, only a couple months new, has some work to do before it descends to dive status. The paint's fresh and grit is lacking. When you walk into Al's a few doors down, the head of every person on a bar stool swivels and all the attached eyes bore into you, as all the eyes in a great dive should (and Al's is incontrovertibly a great dive: the greatest in Wallingford, if not the Multiverse). At the Grizzled Wizard, people just glance.
What the Grizzled Wizard seems to be is a good neighborhood hangout, no extremity involved...
