Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3813807, member: 833"] Georgetown Saloon - townie bar located in Georgetown, which is a borough on the corner of Redding, Wilton, Ridgefield and Weston. Depending on when you would go during its run between 1978 and 2015, you might say "this place is a total -hole" or you might say "this place is really nice". And those two visits could occur like two months apart. I probably only went 15 times in my life, but I never understood the wild swings in appearance, cleanliness and quality of food. It had an eclectic clientele, so you could see anything from a pickup truck to a BMW to a 15 year old beater to a Harley to a police patrol car parked in front. There would be an off-duy (I think) cop drinking at the bar about 1/3 of the time I went. I never parked in front, because the road was really tight and I was told there were a lot of car accidents from people backing out and getting clipped by some drunk from one of the area bars. The food could run the gamut from decent to bad depending on who was working in the kitchen. It qualified as a dive bar because A) it was generally pretty dirty, B) it was on the bottom floor of a building that looked like it was about to collapse, and C) a large percentage of its clientele on any given night were alcoholic regulars. It would get some decent musical acts. I didn't see him myself, but I believe Keith Richards played there a few times. [/QUOTE]
