Mars Bar - A Great Place to Get Pickled

I walked into the Mars Bar and sat down. The guy two seats down from me says, "welcome to hell." A few minutes later, the guy next to me was asking me to give him some money for the juke. Mr. two seats down said as I was reaching for my wallet, "don't give him money, I'd rather go home and fuck my wife than listen to his music." I gave him the money anyways. The guy was apparently bluffing because he stayed. Another time I got into a conversation with a guy about how many times he had been shot (twice). The guy next to him had been shot five times and stabbed three. The Mars Bar is the greatest bar on earth. Just don't bring your momma there (unless she's been shot a few times).

Stumbled in one night and loved it immediately; a true dive in every sense of the word, from the (2) 20 watt bulbs lighting the joint to the jukebox stocked with excellent sleazy tunes, graffiti and dust everywhere and cheap drinks. No frou frou stuff here. Fashionistas and out-of-towners should stay away as this is a truly frightening place. As a low-life myself, I'll be back, so everybody else get lost!

this is how real dive bars are supposed to be: dirty, filled with crazy regulars, never dull, and always always always entertaining. the naked guy dipping his penis in drinks? say hi to him, buy him a drink, and then tip the bartender... if you are a too scared of the dirt and smell, stick with your TGIFridays.
