1-0-8

I spotted 1−0−8 driving down 108^th Street one day, so I promised myself I’d stop by the next time I was in the area. Low and behold I was in the neighborhood a couple days later. There’s nothing fancy about this place. It’s dark and divey. Zero, count ‘em, zero beers on tap (yep) and none of that fancy craft crap either. Bud and Miller products are a bout $ 3.50 apiece and old man beers (Hamm’s, PBR and Schlitz) are $ 2 each.
Cheap old man beer? A dimly lit dive bar to hole away in during the day? I’m sold. There was even a couple day drinking regulars the bartender was swapping stories with.
Note that they open at 6 a.m. and start serving breakfast at 8 a.m. Menu is basic American fair, breakfast and lunch. The bartender told me everything was made with fresh ingredients, which thankfully is becoming the norm these days. I’ll be back for a couple more PBRs and a Philly at some point.
