Reply to comment by MDCLXX in Okay someone tell me about Condrin Tavern, the house-bar in Bloomfield by livefast_dieawesome

Share some stories! That’s half the reason I posted this thread

There’s two that immediately come to mind. One time the bartender was trying to get me and my friend to invite other friends to the bar. Something about wanting some new blood in the bar. Which seemed harmless at first, but then he repeatedly kept offering to order food for us, to the point of being pushy, which is just fucking weird. Another time I watched two old men do lines of coke right off of the bar, and then get offended at people watching.

I thought you were gonna tell us weird or crazy stories.
(kidding)
Anyone who went to Chiefs in the day wouldn't have batted an eye.

I guess crazy is subjective? The place is basically a drug den for old dudes, I dunno.

i was just poking fun a little.
That's definitely not a normal "local bar interaction"
No lies tho, one night in the 90s in Chiefs, as we hung out, a guy walked, looking disheveled as fuck, obvious blood spattered here and there on him, and looking like he had been in a fight.
walked up to the bar, People made room, he ordered a beer and downed it.
then the news came on with an interruption about an attempted homicide in Oakland and the suspect being at large, as he was drinking his second beer.

He just shrugged, downed the rest of his beer, slapped down a 20 and said:
"I guess I better get moving." and walked out.
