Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets

Sure it was believable and entertaining, but finding out afterwards that it wasn't a real documentary, changed the way I viewed it. For better or worse.

Story of everday people, many of the characters wouldnt look out of place in a Charles Bukowski novel. There is a full spectrum of characters on display, all of whom are keen on using alcohol as a coping mechanism in their daily struggles. I love documentaries like this, especially as they age well. Be interesting for people to watch in years ahead. Its a slice of everyday life for working class people, and insight in to issues faced today. Emotions flow high and nobody holds back on unveiling their personal lives 100%, makes for an entertaining watch. Laughs, libidinous behaviour and arguments - bar Life.

The movie and dive into the lives of these bar flies is fantastic! I love the story and watching people who love their neighborhood watering hole. However, this does not take place in Las Vegas. This bar has never existed in Las Vegas. There are a few pickup shots from the city, but everything else is filmed in Louisiana. As a Las Vegan born and raised, it took this movie from an 8 to a 5 very quickly. It's disappointing seeing a film try and fail so hard to capture what Las Vegas is really like.

I recommend it for the human side. Attempting to set it in Las Vegas takes away more than it adds once you see it's not a Vegas Bar.

Enter a Las Vegas dive bar on its final night before closing. The inhabitants are as shabby and unremarkable as you might expect, at first glimpse at least. When sticking around to observe them for an entire night, you begin to understand the humanity of these so-called societal rejects and failures. Sure, they might be unshowered, wreaking of booze and cigarettes, and unable to come up with a single answer to Jeopardy! but they are people who crave and deserve a sense of belonging just as much as any 9 to 5 office employee. There's a heart to this story that offers a dash of hope. Then the bar closes and everyone moves on.

I love my London pubs but wish I was American or atleast eligible to come visit the states and it's dive bars.

Old school English pubs have a similar ambiance with drunks, middle class and has beens but there's something missing . The music culture perhaps or the vastness of the country which makes the bar a world of its own .. I'm still 258 characters short to leave a review so I want to ask where are the best dive bars in the states? New York? Vegas? Boston? Hopefully one day I can visit Rudys in NYC if it's still there. There are too many chains in the U. K. like Be At One and O'Neills, they aren't real bars.
