The Best Bathroom Sign Ever

Vegas Blvd is a very cool bar on Sisson Ave. While lacking in swanky amenities, Vegas is a great place to get a value priced beer and shoot some pool. You might see some novel pacts performing like the night we saw a one man band that even included a harmonica. Occasionally they will run a little short on beer supply and you will get a chance to try a beer you might not know still existed. It is a great place to go when the Half Door has a way too loud act playing horrible Irish music.

The last few months though has seen a bit of a change around Vegas. As has happened throughout the West End, Vegas has been invaded by hipsters. This was particularly distressing one night when we were told we would have to pay a $3 cover to get in. Terrible. But while the invasion of hipsters can bring some business, it isn't all peaches and cream when the hipsters invade. We think this picture taken in the Vegas  men's room speaks for itself and really is too perfect to be commented on.

      Awesome pizza, but good luck getting some. When I can get them to answer the phone, they always tell me 45 minutes. I walk up there right on time, and I always wait at least another half hour, even when the place is empty.

      Honestly, this place seems to have stopped trying to be a restaurant and started being just a bar. Sad, really. A few years back, there was great potential.

    the Owner's a homo, I don't know why he would say something about that shitty ass place anyways. Half Door is way better than this dump.

    Why shouldn't the owner of Vegas be allowed to go into the homes of the taggers and mess up their properties? I'll supply the Day-Glo spray paint.

    Holy Christ is this bar fucking awful. It's nothing but clownish hipsters "ironically" slugging back mugs of High Life, and twitching around the room to Animal Collective b-sides and Major Lazer remixes in their flannel shirts and skin tight black jeans.
