Why Not Lounge

The ¿Que no? is what I call it. It's a scummy little joint near the freeway in a not so nice neighborhood. The beers on tap suck, the clientele is scary, and the cocktails are made by untrained staff. Overall this place should be closed and burned to the ground. No standing structure should live after enduring some of the patron's antics and lack of hygiene.

Then why two stars? It's one of the first bars I ever went to, so of course I'm going to have some affection for this dump. Sometimes a Mariachi band will roam through which always makes me do a double take(in a good way). Sometimes I end up here because it's close to the freeway, and makes for an easily meeting spot.

Overall though, I wouldn't recommend anyone come here. Not even my worst enemies.

"Why not Lounge" is hidden in plain sight in a decrepit corner commercial strip  just off A st. all the commercial tenants, even pizza,  caters to the mexican populace. it wasn't surprising  "why not lounge"  does also.

music: rock
flatscreen: mexican videos

asked for a gin-tonic and the bartender started looking for the gin. not surprising she couldn't find it.

drink:
- modelo beer(4)
nice and cold with lime and salt
-negra modelo (free)
free tasted good.

happy hour:
-6-7, buy one, get one free, (no one told me but i saw the shot glass in front of me)
-interracial mix: whites, blacks, mexicans, asian,,,,,
-sign on wall: "fighting not tolerated here".
-parking lot cramped and very small.
-mexican bars have no well drinks, just straight shots and beer.
-3.5 stars for happy hour, otherwise drinks pricey...

Interesting place.  The signs that say "Fighting will not be tolerated" seemed out of place.   The place is a "hole in the wall" but looks worse from the outside.  

Bartender didn't know that they had NA beer . . . until I saw it in the 'fridge and had to guider her to it.  But hey, she's cute . . .
