Dunbar's

Dunbar's has the following things that make it unique (both good and...the not so good):

-salty and often stale (but very free!) popcorn
-Wednesday Group Therapy special: a pitcher of beer and kamikaze shots
-cheap and strong Long Island's
-grimy, sticky floors
-jukebox with cool jams
-signatures written and/or etched on the walls (a whole lot of ______ was here, ______ sucks, curses, sorority and fraternity names, and names of body parts)
-smelly, little bathroom
-arcade games
-Photo Hunt (in its own category of greatness)
-darts

Sniff. I know Dunbar's is closing, but visiting it again the other day made me want to write about the only dive bar in Collegetown. There is no other place like Dunbar's and I'm so sad to see it go.  

Likelihood of another visit:
...sadface.

Cheapest bar in Ithaca, but its a bit skeezy and not in a good way.

If this place could get zero stars it would.  I used to go here a lot and was just here last night.  The place is still dirty and reeks of stale old mil and urine.  There were only 8 people in the bar (5 of them with me) and the owner came up to my group and told us to stop throwing popcorn in our mouths because it was for eating and it costs money to make it.  This just pissed me off...I am sorry that some of your precious popcorn fell on the floor and was wasted among the garbage, broken glass, stale beer and piss.  If there was any way I could break a penny up to pay for the few kernels that fell on the floor I would.  The owner is a old jerk, the place is garbage.  The only reason I went here in the first place was because you could kind of act like a jackass, I guess now piss filled bars hold their clientele to a higher standard.  Plus, why go here when you can go to Pete's in the commons which is a far superior dive bar.
