Barfly's

Has anybody been there. It's over the Burger-Tex on Airport. What's the deal?

i try to stay away from everything on airport.

It's pretty cool . REal smokey and kind of a grungy crowd.

From what I hear, it's a lot like Ego's on Congress. Just your typical neighborhood bar.

Ah Charlie's Attic... revisited

Do they still have the giant Jenga? Peanut shells on the floor?

We used to play there and occasionally it turned into a cool party.

One of my strangest bar moments took place at Charlie's. I was looking for a buddy of mine and walked into the back pool room and came across this pseudo-biker guy nailing some chick on the pool table. Did an about face and went to sit back down at the bar.

I was at Charlie's Attic one night and this dude reaches over and plucks a HUGE roach off the bar, I mean this thing was a giant! Anyway, he kept playing with it in his hand until everyone in the bar had put money into a pot, then he ate it-- crunched it up in his mouth and did "see food" so that we could all see that he had chewed it up. That was a class place.

The saddle bar stools were cool.

I remember one of the guys in the fraternity telling a rushee that we go to Charlie's and the guy never showed up again. It was about a month before we found out it was a gay bar downtown... funny

I usually start a tab at barfly's, and I'm beginning to think they're jacking up the price on me.

Barfly is cool, good jukebox for the most part. The one thing I can't stand is that somebody has killer taste in metal -- you get a kick-*** string of Iron Maiden, old Metallica, Sabbath, etc. and then it's followed by old Dylan from 1am til close.... Sure I like Bob OK, but the last thing I want to here late night is Bob's scruffy twang and screechy harmonica after 7 or 8 beers.

Lots of food service types go there. Very smoky. Cool place.
