There are dollar bills stuck to the ceiling of the Comet Tavern. Hundreds of them. When I asked the bartender how it was done, he said it involved wrapping up the bill with three quarters and a thumbtack, and I asked if I could try to stick a dollar up there myself.
The bartender hesitated, and turned to another man standing behind the bar and asked if I could give it a go.
"Sure, whatever," the other guy said to me. "But it'll cost you $3.75." I balked at the fee and kept my dollar. A slightly grizzled barfly sitting at the bar next to me shook his head: "I hate that (expletive) guy."
That episode pretty much epitomizes a visit to the Comet, a place for good cheap beer and those who love it. It's a handsome, dusty old tavern with a pleasant patronage, the staff is nice (except for that one [expletive] guy) and there's a lot of history hanging in the air. But I'm a drinker of hard liquor, because beer is too slow and too filling a way to get to the floor.
