We're the Ezine dedicated to all things barroom. We are slightly off what others consider the norm and always the last to close the bar. If you prefer the local dive bar to the glitz of some overpriced club then you're our kind of people. So welcome grab a drink and enjoy.

END TIMES. by R.M. Engelhardt
Waitin for the resurrection
The bartender pours me
Another drink
A guy who looks
Like Jesus walks
Into the bar
The punch line
Gets lost in translation
He calls me a cab
And then mysteriously
Disappears
The end
