Who do these people
think they're fooling? The Cowboy Bar may be gone, but the high cheese
factor remains. This unfortunate joke of a bar comes complete with
a half-ass Southern California theme, neon lights and fake, plastic
trees. Throw in a Dodgers banner, a Mighty Ducks poster and a 1/100,000
scale model of the Hollywood sign and you can almost smell the tax
write off this place truly is. Why is it bar owners think they can
recreate the feel of an entire state by nailing an old surfboard to
the wall? This is the most awful, played out theme we can think of.
Nobody wants to bask in the glow of red neon in a half-empty bar while
sucking down frozen drinks from a Slurpee machine. We won't even mention
the buffalo head on the wall, which is an obvious holdover from the
sexually ambiguous Cowboy Bar. This joint is the equivalent of someone
opening a bar in Kansas City with plastic rats taped to the walls,
garbage strewn on the floor and a papier-mÂché model of the
Statue of Liberty done by the owner's six-year-old daughter and calling
it a NYC bar. Pathetic. [MF] |
