Gallagher's Food & Fun

If you can get passed the odor of the cigarette smokers patio this might be the joint for you., A tip is to approach from the west in an attempt to avoid this. However, if the wind is blowing just right, you will get a waft of Long John Silver's mixed with the patio smell. If you can make it passed this wall of stench, you are in for a special slice of life.

Perhaps Saturday afternoon is not the time to day drink here. Degenerate gamblers with their kids, pool players with their kids, wicked hair hats on the Sun City looking folks, the visually  impaired bellied up to the bar, and mullets a go-go. Not sure I have ever witnessed a cross section of people more diverse. It was as if some dude named Noah was given a directive to gather up two of each species of typical dive bar patrons, and throw them in a room together. Not to preserve them, but to just collect them in one place, like a museum of oddities found working at a traveling carnival.

With only mass produced corporate beer available, I opted for a Bloody Mary. Was not bad, not great but three bucks during special time. I also figured if I doused it with enough hot sauce, it would kill any unwanted parasites.

There was a time when I would have fit right in here, circa 1980 ish. Some say I was a bit of a barfly, drinking Jack straight up, smoking two packs a day, gambling fast and loose, and would throw down if you looked at me cross eyed once I was in full fly mode. I don't remember if this is true or not, but hey that was the 80's.

I see so many 4 and 5 stars.  I have been going here off and on for about 7 years.  I say off and on because there always seems to be a problem with the staff, management (or lack thereof), service, food.....etc.  My recent issue is with the 27% price increase on the cost of shrimp (and I mean one per taco) tacos.  They used to be 1.25 but just two weeks ago they jumped to 1.59.  After writing management (really the owner) and receiving a reply back from a manager, it seems that they are not really willing to understand the problem.  Food is decent, staff is ok.  I will say that the owners' concern for his business is a negative 5!  Probably will boycott them for another 6+ months to see if things straighten themselves up.  Cheers

Love this place!  Terri is the best!
