Loafers

Good local. Basic beer on tap but also one microbrew for $5.

Just moved to the neighborhood, very disappointed. We love our dive bars and if it wasn't for the bartender and his spraying of windex all over the tables, which made it difficult for us all to breathe, it would've been fine.  This guy bartender works Tues, Wed & Thurs (I had my boyfriend ask, as I sat outside to get some fresh air) so I would suggest going to this bar any other night.  Not to mention he was unfriendly and spent most of his time smoking outside on the corner. This place stinks. Literally.

I feel like this week has been Angie's Dive Bar Tour 2012.  What better way to cap it off than a trip to an ultimate dive?

LOAFERS.

Loafers.  What kind of name for a bar is this?  I wanted to go on general principle alone.  I needed to see what kind of establishment is actually called Loafers.

Located on kind of a gnarly strip of Lawrence, Loafers is a Beer Sign Bar, meaning there's not actually a sign that says "Loafers" outside... it's just an Old Style sign.  It sits right on the corner of Lawrence and Rockwell in case you're looking for it.

Walking in... Yup.  Shitty dive for shizz.  Popcorn tiled ceiling.  Approximately eight gnarly dudes sitting at the bar.  Pool table.  General grungyness.

The bartenders were super friendly, but the clientele is a little on the sketch side.

One major problem, though, is the juke box.  I hate those internet juke boxes.

Another thing: Drinks aren't as cheap as you'd think.  We're certainly not talking expensive, but for such a divey place you'd expect things to on the less expensive side of things.
