Tripp's Bar

The Scene
Friendly bartenders work the room, playing host to regulars and fresh-faced newcomers chatting about the latest happenings. Guests sip cocktails at the bar under the glow of a disco ball, or play darts and pinball in the small game room in the back of the converted house. Scattered wooden tables topped with cut-glass ashtrays, fireplaces with deco mirrors, and a saloon-door bathroom are all decorative treasures, as is the Marilyn Monroe paraphernalia that dots the walls.

The Draw
Friendly regulars--cute guys in T-shirts and jeans and a more established neighborhood crowd--welcome the uninitiated. The music is entertaining, especially kitschy country ballads played at top volume on Thursday nights. Once a month, three-piece band "Amber Taylor and her Trashy Trio" fills the house with fun pop ditties.
