Lafferty's

For 20 years I had driven by Lafferty's and wondered what it was like inside, but was always afraid to go.   I finally got a chance when I friend of mine and I decided to stop in one night.

The crowd was more diverse than I expected.   I had assumed we've be in the minority but it was about an even mix of people.  

There's not as much room on the inside as it looks from the outside.   The bar is fairly small with a few nearby tables, with the front room having a comfortable lounge feel.   Around the corner from the bar is a small, well-lit (but very plain) back room with a pool table.

Our bartender was a really charming lady and we really enjoyed sitting and talking with her.    

In the back room a HUGE (as in muscle) guy was shooting pool.   We had asked the bartender for directions to a place we were planning to check out and she didn't know, so asked him.   He invited us back there,  talked to us for a bit and gave him the help we needed.   We offered to buy him a drink to show our gratitude, an offer he immediately accepted by ordering a large, expensive drink.

Later, we discovered that each of us had thought that the other of us paid for the drink we bought him.

Whoops!

Sorry, dude!
