The Last Frontier

Kings Eddy’s Saloon, 131 W. 5th street, Los Angeles
That bar is the last frontier, Oyster for $1.00, boiled eggs for .25 cents and beers for $2.00. The people there are classic drunks. The vagrants that paced behind asked them every so often for a dollar so they too may drink. There is a little smoking area that it is up to your own risk to go into it. My friend was brave enough to go, he came back with a pale face, and he said that a woman just grabbed his “goods”; maybe she needed one dollar or some change for some affordable entertainment. Victor, the bartender is unfazed by this kind of behavior from his clientele. His manners and fast service make it seem almost worth giving this place a second chance, but probably not. Jeremiah ate two boiled eggs, I said to him that I rather go back to 107 Bar to celebrate his birthday, oops; I almost forgot to mention that his birthday was on May 6. We walked back and it was a full bar, lots of fun people. I didn’t want to leave this time, I ordered couple of drinks for him to celebrate his cumpleanos. Unfortunately all good things come to an end; Jeremiah looked happy and very drunk. Wednesday didn’t feel like the middle of the week, in this place every day is like a birthday…
