    Every layout needs a local tavern. This is a scratch build of a tavern owned by a childhood buddy of mine. It was also popular with the local railroad workers, as the bar is just across the road from the entrance to the yard. IMG_1957 (Edited).JPG

    That's a neat kit. Here's my little trackside bar, called Eddie's Grotto. This scene has since been landscaped and detailed. Eddie's Grotto Jul 2019.JPG

    I agree...every layout should have at least one bar ! I have a bar in Georgetown...the seedier part of my layout. Its the red 2 story building in the back left corner next to the interchange track.

    Its named "Joes Poolhall". Wayyyyyyy back when I was younger I always answered the phone with the chessy line "Joes Poolhall, Eightball speaking". :rolleyes::whistle:

    A priest, a minister and a rabbit walk into a bar. The bartender asks the rabbit, "What are you doing in here?", the rabbit replies, "Autofill."

    Well I have three establishments where a guy can wet his whistle. On the waterfront there is Wicked Wanda's and Waterfront Willy's and in town there is Effie's Saloon. However there are three places to balance it out and repent your wicked ways. In town there is 3rd street Baptist, on Lighthouse Bluff there is the Little Chapel, and the on the cliffs there is the Buddhist Temple.

    Far too clean for a dive bar.

    I love it! I used to do something like that, although the local pool hall in Minot was called "The Rack", but I've since just done the "Thanks for calling Domino's Pizza, may I take your order please?". Got my mother-in-law real good with that bit once.... She hung up! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    Great thread, and a really nice "off-line" scene that makes sense. Here's Eddie's Grotto a year after the picture posted above. Real glass windows. IMG_0570crop.jpg

    McSoreley's Old Ale House.
    The way this sits on my layout it is virtually impossible to get a photo of the front.
