I'm sure they love you there.

If you guys like Rolon's, try Guilo's Place on 6th and Coles. Louie there is a great guy. Same prices 2.00 domestic bottles.

On Monday night around 11 pm there was a freestyle rap competition of some sort going on outside that bar. Really loud, and cursing ... whatever, but I wouldn't call the crowd peaceful and quiet.

I didn't know that place had a name. I always thought it was just the keyhole. learn something everyday.

Thanks, I'll do that.

Run a search for "Keyhole" and you'll see that it's been discussed here.

There are some pretty good old man bars in JC that serve low priced domestic and foreign beers. The Grapevine on Newark Avenue near 5 corners and Jack Miller's on Academy and Bergen have a pretty interesting clientele. If you like boxing, you probably already know Jack Miller's bar. Looks closed when you find it, but it's open.

The Grapevine has a pretty good juke box and an old shuffleboard bowling game.

Sounds like an interesting yahoo group. The JC old man bar's club can meet one Friday a month at a different "old man" bar for a couple of drinks. We need to use public transportation or buy a meal and some non alcoholic drinks for a DD.

great find Bro.! does the place actually smell of urine.

Has anyone been to Rolon\'s Bar at 242 Bay Street? I searched and didn\'t find any topics. Great place IMO.

Pros:

$2.00 domestic beers, $2.50 imported beers and well drinks, ALL THE TIME!

NO TIPPING!

Very quiet crowd of regulars, never seen any fights or incidents even on Fridays and Saturdays. My friend and I went there one Friday, got hammered, and left. He left his full paycheck (cash) and his passport. A patron turned it to Rolon and Rolon stopped by our job and dropped it off the next day. That\'s the kind of place it is.

Rolon is a nice guy and gives out free food and drinks fairly often.

Cons:

Many of the \"regulars\" are the alcoholic bums who sell bootleg DVDs and/or beg for change. They won\'t bother you in the bar but some people might not like them. LOL they congregate around the entrance every morning waiting Rolon to open up so they can get their breakfast.

The bathroom door does not lock, and it also has a large window for some reason.

If you\'re looking for a date, you probably won\'t find one there.

I think it is cash only.



Anyway just thought y\'all might like to know about this place if haven\'t been there, or didn\'t stop in b/c it looked to shady.
