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.

When I first heard about this it was just a concert/dance party, but now the affair has been upgraded to Wonkette’s inauguration party. Which changes very little, except that now a few more people will probably show up.

Otherwise it’s just going to be business as usual. Local duo Big Gold Belt, who sound kind of like a dirty version of 80s-pop band Nu Shooz, will perform with DJs Andrew Morgan and Beautiful Swimmers (Future Times records’ Maximillion Dunbard and Ari G) spinning funk and disco records shortly afterwards. By the way, BYOB.
