On Break for a Week

This is not a review site, and is not intended to provide comprehensive information about each and every bar featured. In most cases we will be recapping a single visit, describing only what we observed during that time. Our visits can happen at any time of day, any day of the week, so there's no fair way for us to assess and rate a bar overall.

Turnover is fairly common in the bar business. It's very likely that at least some bars we will post about will have either closed or changed hands since we visited. Each report we post will include the bar's address, and the last known phone number can be found by clicking the locator icon on the map shown with each entry. Please call first or inquire locally before going out of your way to visit any dive we feature. (However we have also learned that neither no answer, a changed number, nor a disconnected number necessarily means the bar isn't there.)
