Players 5th Street Pub

We didn't truly get to experience this bar as our visit was confined to a 10 minute window, but I want to give the owner and staff here props for being really cool for us. :)

We were visiting Quincy from out of town.   It was late, we were looking for a hotel, but we wanted one quick beer at one of the downtown bars to finish off the night.   Unfortunately we didn't realize how late it was -- we're not used to the early (1am) bar closing times they have here.  

We spotted Player's just minutes before 1am, and there were a couple of people milling about outside.   Turned out they were the staff.    They said they had just closed, but that we could come in for a drink as long as we paid cash, didn't dirty up any dishes, and were out by 1:00.

So we got a couple of bottles of beer and drank them in almost total darkness -- I'm talking nearly full blackness here -- while the bartender finished wiping down the counters.   Fulfilling our end of the bargain, we finished them just in time, doubled out tip, gave our thanks, and were out the door by one. :)

Thanks for being cool, guys!
