After I left NDSU I went back to La Crosse Wisc. After getting back I found out from my Mom that my dad and his girlfriend had bought a a bar. Damn near everything you mentioned was there. To add to your list Dillcukes, Salmon Sharpies, Pork rinds that had the small packs of hot sauce included, pickled hamhocks,
some type of hot sausage, BEERNUTS, The Little Nut Hut hot nut dispenser., red herrings. Down stairs there were bottles and bottles of ****ty booze like lemon, lime and orange vodka, Rock and Rye, Peach Brandy , Pear Brandy that had the pears in the bottle. Old Crow, some type of scotch I had never heard of before and a bunch of those decorative Jim Beam decanters all with the seals broken.
Best thing was it had that old Tavern smell!!!

Fresh TP is good, it just doesn't exist in the AGS lounge or any place I have been to.

Irene was a regular at the place on the corner, it was little more than a dozen steps from where she slept and lived, she loved the convenience but knew it was destructive, free peanuts, 44 degree beer, Bosworth posters always overwhelmed her ability to grasp some form of semblance of normalcy. It was easy to blame the beauty of Montana for her weakness but she failed in places and surroundings far better than Missoula.

The Red Dog Saloon in Juneau Alaska had sawdust floors, but I hear it’s a tourist trap now
Early 80s Walked in to find my Chief sitting at the bar in a peaceful drunken stupor, He had a long string of snot hanging out of his nose all the way down to the bar..... and nobody gave a ****.

I've lived a pretty sheltered life but the wildest place that I've been to was the Bird House in Alaska. It was 1994 and I was there for the Great Alaskan Shootout that the Gophers won. Our bus stopped there one afternoon and it was nuts. It had a split level from an earthquake. You had to bend over to get into the bar area because the ceiling was so low. All kinds of articles of clothing on the wall. It burned down later.

He brings the Summit Pale Ale to the games. Hard to disagree or argue with a man who has that kind of taste and class.
