Lafayette Citizen Franco American Club

I will start by stating, this bar is a DIVE! However, on this particular night, that is exactly what my Brother and I were looking for, and this place does not disappoint.
You walk in, you are instantly punched in the face by the sweet smell of marijuana (sarcasm here) but it punches you in the face like you just got in a street brawl. You mosey up to the bar and feel like you just entered a early 70’s movie, I was waiting for Clint Eastwood to pop out of the shadows. The bar had the standard «usuals» who had clearly been there since 11 AM and couldn’t spell their name correctly if you gave them the letters. The bar seats are straight from the front of the salvation army, you know those chairs people dump in front of the store because they have no where else to leave them? Yeah, they got plenty of those. They have two hilarious TVS that had NCIS on one and Arnold Swatenegger on another. The restroom, as gross as it gets. They have a pool table that probably belonged to fats domino back in the day. The décor? Hideous, although they do have a fridge in plain view (actual kitchen fridge just hangin out) There is a picture of a totally naked woman on the wall, she looks pretty hot, so that is a plus in the décor area. The juke box? Well, hit the spot! Hand written CDS dating back to the 80’s. How do you go wrong listening to Poison, Def Leppard, Scorpions and Guns N Roses? Hell, even a little Alice Cooper. The drinks? Super cheap, bottled beer for 2.75 and shots are basically a 1.50.
So, if you are looking for a great dive bar, this is right up your alley. If you are looking for anything else, other than a total dump, skip by here.
Below based on five stars (but again based on dive standards!)

The décor might be tragic but if you’re looking for strong drinks and a harmless crowd this is the place. Check out Christina the Sunday barmaiden! She is beyond fabulous. She makes a mean chili and serves complementary food to accompany the most amazing $ 3.00 Bloody Mary! You must visit this place! ASAP!
