Gatekeepers Tavern

This place has closed. It was fun while it was open.

I’m pretty sure the only reason this place is still in business is that underage undergrads from Wesleyan University stream in every Wednesday night to get trashed. On any other night of the week all you find are miserable, beaten down locals who do not want you to be there. The place has the strangest decorations, as if they’re trying to be quirky but only know how to be insane. Note that on a Wednesday night you will probably not find a place to sit or indeed to stand without being in physical contact with at least three people under 20 years old. You’ll probably have cheap beer from a pitcher spilled on you and you’ll probably spend 5 minutes or more trying to push your way through the crowd to get out.

5 of Americas most wanted criminals are usually seated at the bar and there’s a bevy of lovely $ 10 hookers outside the front door… what more could you want?
