This little bar was another hangout for Flynn's hero, H.F. Vick (see review for
Skips Tavern), who often swapped the talents of his brush for drinks. Just as
you walk in the door you will see a Vick original from 1946 showing a woman
plowing a field with an ox while a german tank looms behind her. Charlie has
owned this charmer for two years and has replaced the girlie posters from the
walls with original Fillmore Auditorium postcards. The ceiling is plastered in cardboard
record covers. You will find everything from Webb Pierce to the Go Go's with
an emphasis on the 70s. Our bartender was very friendly and apparently new to
the profession. Flynn's first clue was the copy of Mr. Boston's Bartender Guide she
was reading behind the bar. When asked how long she had been working there,
she replied "since Tuesday."
Flynn still gives this one four jiggers.
