A packed honky-tonk dive with live music and boozy frozen coffee in paper cups.

A honky-tonk dive on Metropolitan Avenue where the point is cheap beer, friends and the occasional live band. It is packed at peak hours and loud in the good way.

Look for the little blue-and-white paper cups in everyone's hands: they hold a slushy, boozy frozen coffee drink, and you should order one.

Editor’s tip

Go early in the evening before it fills, and order the frozen coffee.
