It was cool. I wonder how it was when smoking was allowed. overall: B+

And to Josh - good game of pool. Thanks for improving my experience. [/missedconnections]

Which Josh? Glasses and gauges?

1/6/2010 1:00:23 AM

Is it weird that everyone makes a thread about the first time that they go to Jackpot?

TWW is not Penthouse Forum.

1/6/2010 1:03:08 AM

it's kinda like when there was a new Requiem For A Dream thread every time somebody saw it for the first time.

before the purge, there must have been 20 threads

1/6/2010 1:04:22 AM

haha

its like people giving themselves street cred

1/6/2010 1:04:25 AM

Also interesting that this thread was made before 1:00, meaning no one was there yet.

1/6/2010 1:10:26 AM

I was wondering about that too

1/6/2010 1:44:58 AM

Wait...jackpot is no smoking now? I never did any research, but I was thinkin because they were a "private club" they could do whatever the fuck they wanted

First trip on NYE, early actually - at like 1am that morn - before things got crazy.

1/6/2010 3:09:04 AM

did you use the bathrooms?

1/6/2010 3:23:28 AM

I've never understood Jackpot's popularity. I mean, IHOP is right there.

1/6/2010 7:31:41 AM

jackpot is meh

1/6/2010 8:45:06 AM

Jackpot SUCKED
The Goat SUCKED
what an unfortunate choice of dive bars

1/6/2010 8:46:45 AM

^ what about THE dive bar

1/6/2010 8:55:23 AM

I have no idea what the fuck that is.

1/6/2010 8:56:07 AM

Jackpot is like TWW, it is a place for the ugly unpopular kids to go and feel better about their pathetic lives.

1/6/2010 8:59:55 AM

Dive bar was great until Mike left


I haven't been back since

Haha, we got there at 9:00 and were the only ones in the bar. By the time we left there were maybe 20 peeps there. Also, I forgot I made this thread last night until I saw it this morning

1/6/2010 11:26:04 AM

Never been there. Didn't even know it existed or where it was until someone posted on here. Honestly, I thought the building it was in was empty. If you kids enjoy it though, more power to you.

I'll continue to be ostracized by TWW and go out downtown...

I usually only go on a friday or saturday around or after 10 and there's always an interesting mix of people which makes for a lot of fun

1/6/2010 1:54:27 PM

midnight is the absolute earliest one should go to fully experience it

at least to experience the 1 am rush

1/6/2010 1:59:01 PM

Exactly, because you have to go when you're already drunk to make it tolerable

hey i've shown up around 1030-11ish and there's usually a decent crowd

1/6/2010 5:59:30 PM

Occasionally people will get there earlier, but in general there's a rush starting at about 12:30 and another one around 1:30.

1/6/2010 8:24:41 PM

us pool sharks get there earlier to warm up for the nightly domination

1/6/2010 8:26:06 PM

Nothing like gettin' stomped by a 60 year old crackhead.

1/6/2010 8:26:53 PM

doesnt happen

1/6/2010 8:34:59 PM

So these redneck dudes walk into Jackpot, sit at the bar, and order Heinekens. The third time they ask the bartender, "Hey man, what's the deal with this place?" he replies, "Well, you know, it's just your run of the mill gay bar."

They finish their drinks quickly and quietly and leave.

1/6/2010 9:04:32 PM

hahaha

I have had the shittiest day, very tempted to go to jackpot but I know my 7am self would hate me so I'm not gonna
