Two doors up the street, the pizza woman asked "yea, where ya gonna go around
here at 10:00". Well I guess you don't try your luck at the New Lodge Lottery.
With rows of narrow tinted windows, this baseball hat filled corner bar
resembles somewhat of a tiny prison. The tag team smooching bartenders
performed their duties adequately, I guess, although my request for no salt on
my mixed margarita was ignored. Drinks were cheap, but don't look for any beer
on tap or much else other than bud and equivalents. The austere setting of
this bar was further exemplified by the plain white sheet of paper with a hand
scrawled death notice of another local bar owner.
Life in the bar picked up slightly with the selection of Herb Alpert on the juke box, at least more so
than Walter Brennan's version of "Old Rivers" (a Flynn favorite).
Flynn gives this one a jigger and a half.
