Alex’s Bar

Small, dark and covered with pictures of naked ladies sporting Afros, Alex’s Bar is totally trashy. Trashy chic, that is. You enter the bar through a door off a parking lot next to an Auto Zone, and once you pass through those portals, the distinct odor of class (you know: new shoes, champagne, cigarettes) is sure to entice even the most skittish of patrons to begin drinking heavily. The hard-pounding bass leaking from the instruments of the bar’s many bands (performing everything from thrash to emo) are sure to get patrons’ feet stomping and lighters blazing. Featuring a slew of tatted-up, bad-ass bitches behind the bar who serve up tall cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon and whiskey shots, Alex’s is a dream come true for people looking for something real. Real trashy.
