A Dark & Stormy is no good unless the bar has real ginger beer.

Ginger beer, yum. I like it so bitey it makes my tongue hurt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A Dark & Stormy is no good unless the bar staff has heard of it.
Dude, let us break for lunch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I went to a fancy bar once and they didn't know what a grasshopper was. So I told them and they made some for us. Nummy!
And it turns out that what I told them to make was a Wisconsin variant, made with ice cream instead of cream. (The other indredient is crème de menthe.) That's the way my parents made them.
In the North Central states, especially Wisconsin, Grasshoppers are blended drinks where ice cream is substituted for cream.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
OTOH, The Manhole? Just a gay bar.
And closed. It's now Hydrate. Also a gay bar.
I may be pre-verted.
May be? Honey, own it. It's one of the reasons I love you.

Sad now.

Huh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
There's also a good sushi joint just down the street, IIRC.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
msbelle, you might find something cosmetically acceptable on this page.

brillig
dive bars
So every bar in Provo is a dive bar by those definitions. Then again, if you're a bar in the most Mormon town in Mormondy, it's automatically going to be furtive, a little sleazy, and filled with the kind of people who aren't likely going to show up in appropriate garb for Family Home Evening.
I might enjoy the place, if I could be sure there wasn't going to be clandestine, rebellious smoking going on. The lungs just can't deal with that anymore.
(It's probably the best thing about Utah, the extreme lack of smoking. When I went go to Nevada border gambling towns, I come back reeking of smoke and apologizing to my lungs.)
