Yesterdays

Love this bar.  1.50 bottles of Point Special, great jukebos (although it used to be better back in the day) good movies and vids.  I love this bar.

The plan was to go downtown and have a drink at a few bars. Our first stop was at Yesterdays. It turned out to be our only stop.
The drinks were poured well and the price was right. I can't give an exact price because while the bourbon and Cokes lubricated my brain, they seized my memory. The bar has a lot of oddities to look at. There's the metal animal skeleton-thing above the bar and little televisions around playing whatever the bartender chooses- it was Scrooged when we entered.
The juke box had some classics. I had to play  Minor Threat's, Out of Step. How could I have passed that one up while drinking?
It was a quiet night at the bar. From 5-7 I think we were the only customers in the place. By nine there were probably a dozen. By eleven I didn't notice, but I never felt crowded. Ya, I'll be back.
Oh, I never saw the tabletop arcade machine that Kandace H. writes about. I did notice the purple-top pool table- but didn't play. I had work to do.

Although I am from MN where the smoking ban has been effected, and Yesterdays is a very smoky bar at night, I had to review this bar as a great place to hang out if you can tolerate the smoky haze (I couldn't for very long...)
The really great thing about this place, however, (besides the cocktails, of course) is the old fashioned flat glass top arcade game.  It has a mix of wonderful old-school games like Dig-Dug, Frogger, Asteroids, Pac Man, Ms. Pac Man, etc. Hundreds of games to choose from on one machine. Costs a quarter to play.
It was such a blast.
