Greenwood Lounge

Dark, dank and mighty quaint. That’s our impression of the Greenwood Lounge. We love the old place so much we could spend hours in the bathroom reading the nonsensical graffiti. But we’ll pass. Common sense tells us our bathroom buddies might frown on us snooping around while they’re taking care of their business. And that’s fine by us. We’ll just hang loose in a booth, down a High Life and watch the old people dance to John Mellencamp. 3707 Ingersoll Ave.

Runners-up: Locust Tap, Johnny Mac’s Bar and Grill
 

Best Bar for Old Hippies

Greenwood Lounge

We’re not sure what makes the Greenwood the Best Bar for Old Hippies. We’re not even sure we’ve seen any hippies in the bar. But if you want to see if the good people at the Greenwood are a bunch of long-haired, patchouli-stinking hippies, we suggest surfing over to www.thegreenwood.org and clicking on pictures. In the meantime, may we share a few enlightened thoughts on tree huggers courtesy of Eric Cartman? “Hippies. They're everywhere. They wanna save the Earth, but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad.” Or how about, “I hate hippies! I mean, the way they always talk about ‘protecting’ the Earth and then drive around in cars that get poor gas mileage and wear those stupid bracelets. I hate ’em! I wanna kick ’em in the nuts!” Feel the love. 3707 Ingersoll Ave.
