- I started going to bars when I was fifteen. I was pretty clueless--I wasn't there to drink--I just wanted to play pool. Didn't occur to me that what I was doing was illegal.
- My husband started going to bars when he was two. He'd go after his dad's rugby games. He remembers being frustrated because the dart board was so high up.
- When I turned eighteen I started going to this Country and Western bar to dance. My friends who were still seventeen would have to sneak in.
- The first time I went out in New Orleans I went to Fat Harry's. It's been there forever and still is.
- I drank a Malibu and Seven Up.
- Fat Harry's is also the only bar I've ever stayed at all night. Like til the sun came up.
- Being from New Orleans, I taught most of my friends how to open a tab and tip properly.
- Also being from New Orleans, I spent a lot of nights physically dragging my friends out of bars.
- I've never been thrown out of a bar, but a lot of my friends have.
- In Texas we used to go to bar that let you bring your own alcohol. They sold beer and mixers, but that was it.
- It did cost five dollars to get in, though.
- People from New Orleans generally hate cover charges.
Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy a cocktail if that's your thing!
