Local
138 by Patrick (5/15/99) As we sat down last night, my friend Jen said "I thought this place would have more of a Labour or a Union theme." " Workers Unite," Local 138 is not. As my friend Nancy said "Wow, this seems like a bar you'd find in the suburbs." The suburbs or at least Union Square. Local is annoyingly clean. I accidentally knocked over a candle, spilling wax on the table. I felt like I HAD to clean it up. Drinks are expensive (a ginger-ale costs $2) and the music is suspect (an hour of Sade is pushing it in my book). The clientele is uniformly ugly, both in their appearance and attitude. A leeringly intoxicated, thirty something suit wearing bozo, practicing golf swings in the middle of a crowded bar (while mildly amusing) is hardly the company I like to keep. The best part of the evening came when, getting up from the extraordinarily uncomfortable wall bench, we walked out the door. |
My rating: 5 cigarettes, verging on an empty pack |

Addendum
We went back tonight, hoping that it would be better during the week (as
opposed to the weekend). It wasn't. |
