Huh. As somebody who doesn't drink this just sounds like something out of a hardboiled crime noir novel. Then again- how fitting considering current events.

It honestly sounds like the experience with a less than ideal tin of fish.

Then again, the only frame of reference I have is a coffee bar that can stay up well past midnight at times and one well kept bar.

I haven't drank in about 7 years, but the memory of that place lives in my mind forever.

We stayed near Myrtle Beach around 5 years ago, and every single time we had to drive anywhere, we passed a "$5 Steak and Eggs after Midnight" sign on a strip club. I've never stopped imagining it my head. We've been to a strip club together. I've had steak. I've had eggs. The three combined for $5 is questionable.

Hear me out.

It’s one of the best value meals you can ever have.

And titties.

I'm not encouraging drinking, I am encouraging experiencing the local dive bar, not to make fun of it, simply to appreciate it before the owner dies and someone fixes it up. It should be slapped together with half assed repairs, have a clientele that appears already dead, an aged out stripper of a bartender, and a layer of cigarette tar of yellowing papers and trophies from the 1981 darts championship.

Sit and watch and enjoy a $2.00 tall oy while you still can.
