I've just come back from a night of hanging out at various bars in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak, which I've (once again) confirmed I can't stand (I still think Gusoline Alley is okay). What about you? What bars/neighborhoods/etc. do you put up with when you hang out with your friends/co-workers?

with friends that I can't stand?

oh come on jody, surely you've had friends you can't stand

I've had friends who couldn't stand.

But could you stand them (up)?

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 10 May 2003 05:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, if like I had a hot date or something.

After I go out with friends, none of us can stand.

I gave up having friends I couldn't stand after I graduated from college.

Now people think I'm snobby.

okay, to be serious, my friends and I sometimes meet up at McSorley's. It kinda sucks.

Royal Oak is shit. You need to hang in fashionable Ferndale.

this thread is great. I go to hella shit joints with pals all the time. Fletcher's in Blatimore is the latest confirmed-shitpipe-venue; I think we all decided that it's not worth wasting any more time there (too small, too loud, shit beer selection), though, so maybe that shouldn't count any more (Eddie Spaghetti of the Supersuckers referred to it as 'Felcher's' at Reptilian Records' in-store show)

I never would have found my way to several local joints without the help of bored friends - The Rapture (a cheapass dive on 175 that's got a ton of space and NOTHING going on beyond the occasionaly cover band, 100% sausage party), the Ram's Head (oh boy can I please hang out with a bunch of people from work?) which isn't so much a dive as a nice place crowded with complete imbeciles, and a bunch of joints in College Park or up in Baltimore that are FUCKING HORRID BEYOND BELIEF but we were there, somehow, and there was this terrible noise, and cheap booze, and somebody was having a bachelorette party (they always are). I hate those suburban party clubs with the generic everything and the guys in hawaiian shirts drinking corona and bud light. ARRRGH

sometimes i end up in a J.D. Wetherspoons pub with people which is a bit dud due to lack of music and abundance of boring old blokes - food could be worse tho.

Taking sides - Detroit Royal Oak vs London Royal Oak (ok the London equivalent is little more than a tube station and couple of project blocks if i'm not mistaken)

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 10 May 2003 17:06 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah royal oak's quite poor but whiteleys is better than it used to be

dammit stevem!

i once went to a pretty horrible sports bar called el guapo cantina, for a friend's birthday. it was so loud and brightly lit and crowded that i left very early even though it was pouring rain outside.

I no longer will go to the big hunt or the raven. a couple of others in my neighborhood than can fuck right off as well but nobody ever suggests them as places to go

(timberlakes, circa dupont (that place is crap to begin with))
