Juarez, Mexico (August 2005)
the oldest bar in the city still in service. Since opening its doors in 1920, this bar with its great tradition has preserved its elegance and prestige. Great personalities from the world of politics, art, cinema, sports and bullfighting, including John Wayne, Steve McQueen, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and Jack Dempsey, have all sat at its beautiful bar. The photographs of many other famous patrons are displayed on the walls.The beautiful full length wooden bar had one particularily interesting feature that I hadn't seen before. In place of a brass railing to rest a foot there was a tiled trough urinal. We didn't see anyone using it but it was functional with a water spigot on one side to provide a cleansing flow. "Elegance and prestige" indeed. Unlike the other miscellaneous travel spots on my website I don't have any photos to post here. I had hoped to get some eventually from the camera phone that was present but that never happened. Perhaps it is for the best for all involved. |
