BarFly's Review of Jockey Club (CLOSED)
This bar is bulldozed and closed
Friend summed it up nicely: "it's like friggin' Ellis Island with beer!" And now, PacMan and lots of pinball, with possible tournaments planned. Thurs nite (7pm) Pinball Tournaments $3, sponsored by PDX Pinball League (ie the kids who print "Multi-Ball" and their pals). Two 25 cent pool tables. Open till at least 1 am nightly.
The Jockey Club is fuckin gone! I laughed aloud at the glory of it all. THe newly grassed lot is too good of an end for that place. Too bad somebody didn't get to burn it down before they tore it down. Pretty much every memory I have of that shitdive is tainted and suckass. Yeah, shit in a purse was monumental and warm-fuzzy memorable but I'm glad the Jockey is gone. Maybe all the shithead gutter punks will have to go out and get real jobs. Maybe they just found another shithole diveydive place to bum beer and cigs off of hardworking anarchists.
They tell me the "Jockey Club" ain't what it used to be, but i find it the ideal vacant lot to throw down quarts and piss in the bushes. Plus, now that it's cold outside, the nipples tend to stiffness. Ambiance is everything.
