The Keyhole Tavern

Ahh.. The Keyhole.. Quintessential hole in the wall dive.. And proud of it, complete with allegations of coke dealing former bar wenches, crock pot buffet spread, and yes the $1 shot (was sunny-d.. now tang??). This place almost gives you street cred in mission, and once you go here you will stay away from JJ's.  Almost charming with the mix of patrons and strong jukebox.  If your date appreciates this joint, she might just be a keeper.. (or might stab you in your sleep).. Enjoy!

I pretty much just stumbled into this bar not knowing what it was. I've never been to a "private club." The bartender was very friendly, and helped us feel welcome even though we had no idea about the rules of a private club.

It was a fun experience and kind of a step into a world I'd never seen.

The thought of Saturday night at a place like this holds such a special place in my heart that it brings me to tears.  Cold beer, an almost comical mix of people, and a jukebox full of songs just begging for face-melting air guitar solos.  Now I am well-known for my frequent and skilled Belvedere consumption and I never travel without a bottle of red (or at least a corkscrew and the address of the nearest liquor store), but I find something so charming about a place that I wouldn't dare order either of those things.
