You guessed it. Murf’s Corner. The busiest bar in my small community of 450 that hasn’t been cleaned in years. If the owner sells, the bar will need to be torn down due to all the violations. I love, well like, it there. People leave you alone. There’s nothing fancy there – not even coasters for your drinks. Yes, it is quite a dive. There are so many flies in the summer that they hand you a fly swatter when you walk in. Once in awhile the net bugs act up but the workers always supply you with a plastic cup to cover your refreshing beverage. Oh yeah! Don’t forget about the wasps. Nothing like one getting smashed right in front of you as you take a sip. People bring in their dogs on a regular basis. The dogs have to be friendly and quiet though. The drinks are not too expensive if your a regular. I pay $2.50 for mixed drink and $1.00 for a frosty mug of beer. They usually give you a free one after 3 or 4. Free shots once in awhile too. Don’t expect nothing fancy though. The selection of alcohol is limited along with the help. Most get hired not even knowing how to pour a beer or make a old-fashioned. Hey, at least I don’t have to get dressed up to go there! And it’s only a mile from home. Within walking distance!
