Best Dive Bar
SLY MONGOOSE
Ah, The Goose! My home away from home and the thorn in my side, the Sly Mongoose is that neighborhood bar from back home where you go for pau hana on Friday, or any day for that matter, and meet up with your plumber, your auto mechanic, your postmaster or your future ex-spouse. You can just as soon talk shit with the guy at the end of the bar as you can ring the bell and buy everyone at the bar a drink. It’s your family here; show respect and you can do or say whatever the hell you want. It’s where we like to take beer-in-a-can tastings, collect wooden nickels, get free love advice (like the “Never pull the same knob twice on the cigarette machine” theory) and join in a group sing-a-long of “Aqualung” or that damn Meatloaf song. It’s where I witnessed my first bar brawl one fateful evening and my first time discovering the musical genius of Willie K in an impromptu bar-concert another night. Anything can happen, and does, at the Sly Mongoose. [SC]
