The Doors

Trying to find a bar that fits you perfectly amongst the millions available here is literally like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I found my needle in the form of an establishment  by the name of “The Doors”. It is owned and operated by a man named Mr. Pyong; whom I consider to be the coolest bar owner in the planet. This man is down to earth and knows how to make you feel at home. He treats every single one of his customers like family and has a sincere interest in getting to know them. The place looks like an old run down bar with LP covers filling up the walls, and their collection of records on wax is a lifetime achievement. The Doors is a music request bar, which means they play the songs you want them to play. Like a jukebox that doesn't take coins. You write down the songs you want played and they try their best to make it happen. The people who work there love what they do. Being happy with genuine smiles all over, singing a long with the songs, getting drunk with whomever wants a piece of their minds; that is their job description. I would love that job too. What really makes the place great though is the variety of people you meet. People who have an incredible infatuation to music and don't want to sit at home and listen to it. They burst out into song and drum on the tables like madmen, they feel the music in their spines and it drives them out of the dress coded prison they call offices into a world of blues and rock. It is all of the above that makes The Doors into my needle.

For you who don't know who The Doors are (shame on you) they were the band led by Jim Morrison. Morrison died at the age of 27, just like Janis and Jimi, but before croaking the man wrote some good songs. I give you one of the more famous songs they performed.
