The Back Door

Editorial Review

Cheap drinks heavy on the booze + pool tables + greasy food + jukebox + location, location, location = why this neighborhood tavern's been drawing a crowd of all (legal) ages since 1985. Twenty bucks will get you drunk, $30 if you're uppity and order call drinks. Get too puffed up though and one of the southern mamas behind the bar will put you in your place, Sugar. But become a regular and they'll paint your head on the wall.
