The Legendary Pete & Pat's Lounge

This was, by far, the coolest bar in the history of old-school bars. As a 19-year-old art student at AIP, you could open that door and sink into the dark coziness of a time-worn booth seat with a 35 cent Iron City draft and disappear completely. Or, you could fight with your friend Kim about who's turn it was to have to sit by Mr. Miller because the drunker he got, the more he liked to reach over and squeeze your thigh.

You would've loved that bar, too. Alas, it is only a sweet memory of youth now.
