Galaxy Hut: A Dive Bar?
Wonkette labels Galaxy Hut a “dive bar.” Really? The post comes in the politics site’s new “Wonkabout” section presumably to attempt to takeover our turf! Wonkette writes:
“This tiny bar offers 20 taps of craft and imported beer, and more than 30 kinds of bottled beer. They don’t serve any hard liquor, so don’t ask. There’s live music Sunday and Monday nights (how they fit the bands inside is a mystery; the bar can barely hold 15 people), Ms. Pacman, pinball and a vegetarian-friendly menu.”
Let’s see. Veg friendly menu. Twenty taps of craft and imported beer. Does this sound like a dive bar to you? Granted the writer of the post didn’t call it a dive bar. But who ever manages their new site tagged it as “Another Dive Bar.” Which is ridiculous.

It’s a “dive bar” to people who’ve never actually been in a real dive bar.

I just went there for the first time to see a relative’s band play on a Sunday night. I wouldn’t call it a dive bar – to me it looked like an “authentic, non-chain, local color” type place. Cute, and they can squeeze a band in, but the guitarist will be right in your face. The fire marshall sign on the wall allows for a total occupancy of 48. There were 37 people there (including the band), and it was crowded to the point that whenever anyone moved around other folks had to move out of the way.

Yeah. Galaxy Hut is a cool low key place. Good food. Good beers. Nice bartenders.
