Dusty Swan for a relaxed bar. Great place to duck into during a big blow.
Suck 'n Fuck for some of the stiffest drinks you've ever had.
Red Rooster for some great conversation.
Frogma for a partying happy hour.
Kantina Apok for...well hell I can't remember why..stumble, stumble, fall.
Barbie Death camp. You gotta have one of Wild Mans Bloody Mary, and some of Doc's Absinthe.
But by far, my favorite was the Boobie Bar...

As Political Officer, is mandatory that you volunteer to come to Kantina Apokalyptika. We will drink vodka and sing patriotic songs and drink vodka.

I have a deep fondness for the Golden Cafe. Live music, drinks in glasses. Daytime bar and it can get crowded. Better when it was a backstreet bar.

Wait, Re-Bar stripper poles? That's evil, cruel, and funny.

In the spirit of radical inclusion and civic responsibility, Re-Bar will be installing a 2" galvanized conduit stripper pole as well as the originally promised rebar "challenge" pole.

As a fellow Doctor, I want to throw out the Wet Spot. Was my best daytime experience this year. Dust blowing like a motherfucker on Tuesday and the place was going off. Lots of fun.

Re: I just turned 21, which playa bars are the best?
I don't patronize bars much (I'm more likely to have cocktails with friends) but I felt very, very welcome at Lamplighter's bar just off Center Camp, even though I didn't know anybody behind the bar. (I normally find asking for a drink from strangers to be fairly awkward). But they were really nice; really welcoming. Pretty bar, too.

Re: I just turned 21, which playa bars are the best?
This reminds me of this time in 2011 when I was hanging out with a friend of my campmate. He was already quite drunk and had forgotten his water canteen at his campsite (I know, what a fool), so he figured rather than walking all the way across the playa, why not hit up a bar for a quick glass of water? So he walks into a bar on the Esplanade (I have no recollection of which one) and the bartender, quite drunk himself, offers this guy a drink. The interaction went something like this:Savannah wrote:I don't patronize bars much (I'm more likely to have cocktails with friends) but I felt very, very welcome at Lamplighter's bar just off Center Camp, even though I didn't know anybody behind the bar. (I normally find asking for a drink from strangers to be fairly awkward). But they were really nice; really welcoming. Pretty bar, too.
"Hey man can I pour you a drink? "
"Yeah, actually, I'd just like a glass of water. "
"You mean, you don't have water? "
"Well not with me you see I... "
"You didn't bring WATER?!? "
"Well like I said... "
"You're seriously asking me for a fucking glass of WATER right now?!?!?!? "
"YES, that's what I'm... "
"IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT, A FUCKING GLASS OF WATER?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? "
(thinking the man is being sarcastic) "YES PLEASE, I'D LIKE A FUCKING GLASS OF WATER "
(something to the effect of) "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE BEFORE I HURT YOU! "
I was in stitches as my campmate's friend walked out of the bar, still thirsty and somewhat startled. It actually seemed like a bar fight was imminent, since this guy (campmate's friend) has a bit of scathing, miscalibrated sense of sarcasm. The bartender at the next bar over was like "yeah, sure here you go! "
Too bad I can't remember the name of that first bar. That one is definitely one of my favorites.

Plenty of great bars are gone forever.
And the best are yet to be discovered (or manifested).

Re: I just turned 21, which playa bars are the best?
Burning Man has helped me a lot with the concept of letting go, something at which I've never been adept. That shockingly beautiful piece of art I never might have imagined seeing? It's going up in flames tomorrow. That sunset in front of you? You'll never see its exact likeness again, so enjoy. The club you adore may be a one-shot deal, so dance now and smile with love if you feel it, 'cause one of these days either you or the person you're dancing next to won't make it to the next Burn. Enjoy now. Everything changes.Ugly Dougly wrote:Plenty of great bars are gone forever.

Did I say it's helped me a lot? . . . Maybe more like: It's helped me moderately.

For the first time ever Planet Earth will have a bar and lounge in 2013. The whole camp is changing from an open air, on the playa dance camp to an indoor, off the playa, 80s new wave nightclub.
So... if that kinda thing is your scene, drop on by!
