Bob's Bar

I've always loved this place. The crowd and atmosphere are relaxed and interesting, and the bartenders know their stuff when it comes to beer. This IS a beer bar, after all. Their liquor selection is also discerning, however. I have great memories of playing pool and darts with friends over the years.

Yesterday [10-8-2022], I briefly visited Bob's Bar [also known as "The Cultural Hub of the Midwest"] at 4961 N. High St. immediately south of the Graceland Shopping Center. Since my name is Bob, I have wanted to visit Bob's Bar ever since first having learned about that bar. I had not had the opportunity until yesterday to visit Bob's Bar because I am usually riding past there (1.) in a car [with someone else driving] or (2.) on a #2 [or #102] COTA bus [with someone else driving]. Neither of those situations has ever provided the best opportunity for me to visit there. Yesterday had been a great time for me to visit Bob's Bar because I had been walking south from the Graceland Shopping Center, with sufficient time to briefly visit Bob's Bar, while on my way to an event at Mozart's Cafe [five blocks to the south]. I spent only eight minutes at Bob's Bar yesterday but very much enjoyed my brief visit. I first took several photographs of the illuminated "1960s-style" "BOB'S BAR" sign above the front door and then entered the building. I told the woman behind the bar that my name is Bob [to explain why I had wanted to visit there]. I told her that I would be taking a few photographs for Google Maps; I then walked around for the next several minutes and took several photographs. My practice, whenever I am taking photographs for Google Maps, is to include as few people as possible in those photographs. It would have been great to have taken a photograph of a small group of people playing darts though I chose not to do so. I did take a photograph of a not-being-used-at-the-time pool table because no people had been nearby. I made sure to take a photograph of the huge "BOB'S BAR" sign that had been painted [using two-foot-tall capital letters] on the interior wall of Bob's Bar immediately inside of the front entrance; I also took a photograph of the wall behind the bar that includes an "Elvis-Presley-themed" neon sign. If you are in the vicinity of the Graceland Shopping Center and you are looking for a small neighborhood bar, I recommend that you check out Bob's Bar.
