The Scene
The thick atmosphere may have patrons' lungs crawling for the door, but then they'll remember how the longtime bartenders pour the drinks. Then there's the sports-fan aspect: Know the words to "Hail to the Redskins"? This is your bar. Pool, darts and foosball occupy customers not concentrating on the game. There's a large television on the main stage, and glowing screens everywhere ensure everyone can see the the big play. Live music, usually blues, attempts to lure in more patrons on weekend nights.

The Draw
It's all about full liquor functionality. All the usual bar food is served until 3am, and patrons can enter the liquor store next door through the bar.
