25. Happy Hour at the Mauve Tavern in Smarty Pants Disco

At Loveless Motel, Smarty Pants Disco, located off the lobby, has a back bar called The Mauve Tavern. Through two swinging doors, you'll be surrounded by lots of gold-framed antique mirrors on a deep purple velveteen wall fabric, the glow of soft pink diffused lighting, with long gold speckled vinyl banquettes, tiny tables for two, and deep orange shag carpet throughout, accessed along a 40 foot meat rack standing-only bar- a runway of sorts.  Our Happy Hour hideaway is just the ticket, especially on Friday nights, when it's the kickoff to the weekend. It's strictly cruise, often transactional. Barter and trade, buy and sell. Many locals attend, their eyes fixed on who walks through the door. Can you say "judgmental" and "heavy cruise?"  Don't be intimidated. It's just their quaint style.  The Bobbsey Twins are all grown up now.
