I visited Gatsby’s North on a Friday night from 9:00-9:45. Free parking in a paved lot, no cover. Bottled water was $2.00 at the bar. For all you not-enough-details freaks: The men’s…

Visited Thursday afternoon 2:00-3:00. Free parking next to the building, no cover; bottled water at the bar was $2.00. This is a real dive, really just a bar with strippers. There were 12 seats…

Visited Friday afternoon, 4:00-5:30. Free parking, no cover. Note that the front door is locked, and patrons get buzzed in. Bottled water was a whopping $11.00 at the bar. The saving…

Visited, briefly, Thursday afternoon 3:00-3:30. Free parking in small but serviceable lot, no cover; bottled water at the bar was $3.00 plus tip. A cute girl named Chubby was tending bar. Not…

Visited Tuesday afternoon 3:50–5:00 after a visit to Henry the VIII Lounge nearby. Free parking. Cover would have been $5.00, but I asked for a free pass when I left Henry’s. Like…

Visited Tuesday evening 8:45-11:00. Free parking in a paved, lighted, and fenced-in lot at the back of the building. If you have never been here, it’s important to know that although it has…

Visited Tuesday afternoon, 2:30-3:40. Free parking in a pothole-infested lot; cover $5.00, generic bottled water was $10. To her credit, bartender warned me about the price in advance. Not sure why it’s…
