But I Don't Want to Go the Fuck There for Drinks

A new website has been making the rounds for the past few weeks. Created by Coolagraphy, a creative consultancy dedicated to cool, wherethefuckshouldIgofordrinks uses your zip code or internet geolocation to offer up random watering holes with a side of salty banter. It's fun for about seven seconds.

Using Dallas as a search string yielded the Cavern Ale House, which nobody at the office had heard of. I tried the office zip code and got this number...

Why the fuck would I want to drink with dogs? I clicked the "this place fucking sucks" button and then Pekers, Brick Joe's, some place in Belgium (zipcode typo, maybe) and Winetastic all followed. Not really my sort of place.

Finally one came up that I recognized...

Yeah, I know that place. A cool little dive with bar food and a patio. But do I really have to click 20 times to find a watering hole? Maybe I should just ask you bastards, instead. Where the fuck should I go for drinks?

The Cavern existed at one time.  It was a pretty cool little place to have a drink and watch the budding hipsters(pre-facial hair revival) cavort.

The Starlight RULES!  If you're super nice,the owner may go out to his truck and get you some of his handmade mixed nut mix.  I also bought meat out of some guys truck there once.  It was from Albertson's.  I think he may have stolen it, but it was as delicious as the ridiculously cheap and cold-as-fuck Budweiser.  Bonus:  The It'll Do is RIGHT NEXT DOOR!

It is telling me to go to El Az Be Oro Night Club on Dolphin Rd. Somehow, I don't think that I'd fit in there...

Lee Harvey's or Stan's. Completely different crowd, but both will work. It one of those January days where it feels like San Diego after the marine layer pulls out.

We did Lee Harvey's the last time it was 70+. Dry burgers, cold beer, stellar sunshine and wind that kept robbing us of our menus.

I'm all about Whitney's Starlight rec for tonight.... I think.  Who knows.

Dallas trash hipster nonsense-sir.  Hey, will you go on a rant about nice Dallas is, and what a BEAUTIFUL city it is.  I love that demented rant.  Other beautiful things:

-Garland-Dentist-Wife Bitching -Working Late

ps-You may use any of these when you send a retort.

ps-Don't forget to tell us what a big man you are-sir.

Love yer Plano.

Pretty crass headline.  My college journalism teacher defined swearing anywhere in a story (yes, even headlines) as a perceived weakness.  First world problem.

Wait. You're commenting on crass?

Yes sir.....the headline is crass-sir.  Besides, I turned over a new leaf, as of this morning. Welcome Christian Leaning Kergie 7.4.

Can I propose it as an app and ask the Kickstarter community for $65,000?

Have you been to the Starlight Lounge (4319 Main)? I passed by it the other day and it looks like such a shit hole I'm almost intrigued enough to check it out. The sign advertised beer & wine... I'm interested to see what kind of wine they have, perhaps a fine vintage Sutter Home Chardonnay. My favorite dives to drink at are the Grapevine ($2 fucking Everclear bellinis, don't judge me) and Lee Harvey's. One of my friends keeps bugging me to check out Adair's for the burgers, haven't made it there yet.

I also drive by this dive almost daily - and as I recall, the Observer included it in a list of local dive bars some months ago.  Didn't sound that promising, but I also am intrigued.  I love dive bars, and I also love the burgers at Adair's.  Listen to your friends.

I've been wanting to try that out since I got here. Past it on the way home from Ibex.... Need to get there.... maybe now.

Who's in?

Good idea for a site, but they should have fucking finished it before it went live. It returned only one bar (O'Malley's) for my ZIP code and when I entered Oak Cliff, Dallas, TX, it said "Can't find shit there. Try somewhere else." Right, because there are no bars in Oak Cliff.

The only returns for 75208 (Bishop Arts ZIP) were the Kessler Theater and El Disco De Oro.

Scott, you should fucking go to O'Malley's Club. Or El Disco De Oro.
