It was only the beer lights in the window that intimated that this was a bar of some sort but there being a bit of a paucity of watering holes here in Union City I decided to give it a try.

Once again there was a bit of a language problem in trying to order a beer, the barmaid having to fetch the owner for translation of "What beer do you have?".

The owner Freddy turned out to be a really nice guy and after he explained that there was no draught beer I settled for a bottle of Corona Extra. It caused a bit of consternation when I asked for a glass tho'!

Then to my delight I discovered that this was actually registered as a pool hall and that smoking was allowed!!!!! So one beer led to another and another to the beat of Latin music from the jukebox and a bit of a laugh with the girls. Getting my camera out created a bit of a stir - "No paperazzi!" screamed one as she ducked under the bar counter.

Settling my $14 bill for 6 beers a couple of hours later I said to Freddy to put the change from $20 in the tips, which he first refused but eventually allowed me to buy the girls a drink.

Cracking little place!

Dress Code: Coat and Tie definitely not recommended - low cut tops for the girls a must!
