Munegin’s On 13th

If you are a local, stop on by. This place is pretty cool. Kareoke is awesome, the bands are cool and the bartenders are really nice.

I’ll say up front, this bar is not for everyone. It’s dark. You’ll be inundated in smoke (I don’t smoke cigarettes, but it doesn’t bother me. In fact, it’s a requirement for a good dive bar). Yes, the patrons there are creepy. It’s known for meth heads, hookers, scumbags, and some hardcore bikers that you wouldn’t want to piss off. The karaōke or bands are loud, so don’t expect too good of conversation. Sometimes the bartenders are surprisingly cute. The beer is reasonably priced, ample parking. Despite the reputation and scuzzy SOB’s that are always there, I’ve had no problems other than some odd looks. Maybe that’s because I only go there late at night with friends after Lodge meetings and we’re in suits. We definitely stick out.
Not as much as one poor soul I recently saw there. Guy in his 30s, drinking all by his lonesome. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I like to get out of the house and enjoy some me time with a few beers and relax, enjoying the peace and quiet. What makes this sad… or interesting. or funny, is that he was dressed like Captain Kirk. Oh yes, full blown trekkie like he just came from a Halloween party… in June. It was wonderfully horrid.
I’m a country boy at heart, so I like these type of joints.

This is a drinking establishment. And a dark and smokey one, even at 1pm in the afternoon. Takes a few minutes for the eyes to adjust, then you realize that a bunch of the locals are giving you the evil eye while using the other eye to check out the girl you’ve brought. Well, was brought by… I was there for a benefit. Why the stares? Suspious much? Or guilty much? Or hiding much? I didn’t ask. Anyway, its dark, smokey, and don’t ever, and I mean EVER, wash your hands in the men’s room. See my attached Suggested Primary Photo.
Parking’s okay, drinks are okay, prices are okay. Were you wanting to get a little lovin’ from one of the locals, you would probably not have to go far — I think most were from the nearby trailer park. Probably a good idea anyway, since I hear that the cops stake out the nearby median waiting for DUI tryouts.
Not my cup of tea, I know it has a bit of a reputation as a dive bar. But so does JR’s — I was there once yet was treated like a local. And I wasn’t afraid to use the sink.

While this place may look a little sketchy, once you get to know the people there it can be quite fun. They offer different drink specials every night of the week along with the best local rock bands around on the weekends and they never have a cover charge. They have a pool table, juke box, darts and video games along with Texas Hold-​em poker on Thursdays. They also have nice tv’s for your sports viewing pleasure.
They host charity events and sometimes have trip giveaways. i.e. — Win a trip to Mexico during their Christmas party on December 23.
All of the bartenders, except for one, are really cute and nice.
