F & M Patio Bar

Used to get dragged here from time to time when I was in college.

If you are a university student wanting to get wasted with daddy's money and rub up against fellow students, this is the place for you.

I went here again last night for the first time in quite over a year (the last time I was dragged here, my friend was treated quite unfairly at the door despite being in his 30's, well dressed and not acting belligerent...I have a feeling this was because he's black but obviously the douchey doorman didn't outright say this).  Anyway, last night my friend and I tried to take a picture in the photobooth; when the photo finally came out, it was so overexposed that you could hardly see anything but our teeth.  The bartender who also seemed to be a manager because of his self-important attitude informed me that "what's wrong? You got your picture, that's what they look like, it's a 7-year old photo booth, what do you expect?".

Ultimately, they attract a spoiled, disrespectful crowd and seem to treat all of their customers with this same attitude.  If I were a meaner-spirited person, I would wish that it had burned to the ground and stayed there a few months ago when the kitchen(?) caught on fire.

One of the best dive bars in the city.

You can get cheap beer and great for people watching.
They could upgrade the bathroom and no one would complain.

Ugh.

What it has:
A pool table that is used more for dancing on than actual pool.
An upstairs that you probably didn't know about.
A patio that you probably didn't know about (other than the name of the place).
A hiding place under the stairs.
Cheese fries that taste better after a long night.
College kids

What it doesn't have:
A clean bathroom
A real reason for anyone over 25 to rightfully go here
A sense of decor
"Mr/Mrs Right"
A proper dance floor

I would like to state, that in the last 5 years I have never gone here on my own volition. I have always been BROUGHT here.
