When the coming zombie apocalypse occurs, I know where I'll be headed - Dicks. Â The interior is straight out of a Hollywood set for a horror movie with dim lighting, lots of wood grain, steel bars blocking off stairwells, and guns mounted along the walls. Kind of a hunting lodge meets Medieval Times feel. Bonus points for having a giant painting of a nude woman hanging on the wall, similiar to what you would have seen hanging in the bathroom of your buddy's white trash parents when you were a kid in the 70's. (You know, when truck driving culture was cool for some strange reason). Â A steady mixture of heavy metal and classic hard rock blast from the jukebox, the perfect music for blowing out the brains of the undead. Â There's even an upper level/balcony (which never seems to be open) that is the perfect snipers nest. Â If you need a little liquid courage at the end of times, the "Home of the Coon Dog" has you covered. Â A coon dog is a Laporte specialty - a shot consisting of 1/2 Jack Daniels and 1/2 blackberry brandy, served warm. Â Don't make that face, it's not nearly as bad as you think! Plus the world is ending, so be happy and take what you can get.
One caveat; the locals in Laporte tend to be a little....territorial. Â They seem to be operating as if the zombie apocalypse has already occurred and they're protecting their turf. Â It's not nearly as bad as some other bars in the area and if you're not completely obnoxious, you'll be fine. Â But if you're looking for trouble, you're probably going to find it.
