Wisconsin Bar Opens at 6AM | Do-Dodge-Inn

[@GATOWN]

The $11 tab is WAY more impressive than the 6am open

[@PRLOutdoors]

Lol come to the Midwest, plenty of great little dives that are insanely cheap. I can get double black label for 4$ a double haha.

[@cmills263]

In Denver the tab for that would be $30

[@FishyMango]

@@PRLOutdoors So they're losing money on every black label pour

[@PRLOutdoors]

@@FishyMango absolutely, breaking even at the least. That's how u get people coming back in the morning. Then they spend cash on things like pull tabs, jukebox, bar games like pool/darts, and dice. The bar still makes money, and if they end up breaking even on a customer once and a while that's ok because they now have a loyal customer.

Imagine if you worked 3rd shift and got off work and could go to a bar and have a beer and dinner.

[@JB-yj8sx]

I worked 2 years on 3rd. There was a bar on my way home that opens for drinks / food at 6a.m. 7 days a week. It was nice

[@GlacierSound]

So bad for you

[@MinistryOfMagic_DoM]

All bars are open still in basically everywhere at midnight though. Third shift is the third shift of the day. The day starts at 0000, with first shift. Most folks work second shift which is 0800-1600. Common rookie mistake I see the kids these days making.

[@derekworrod230]

wish we could get that in Canada I used to work straight nights and I would get home at 7:30 am fire up the bbq crack a beer get the tunes going neighbours thought I was nuts but realistically it was my 7:30 pm

[@jsa0005]

I spent a ton of time in that place as a kid. Back then, it was called "Pinky's". I lived 3 blocks away, and my grampa and I walked right past it to go fishing (a river runs a couple hundred feet behind the bar). Being a man who loved a can of Red White and Blue and a stiff pour of J. Bavet, gramps stopped there on the way home 100% of the time. Down where the pull tab machine is, there was a Flash Gordon pinball machine, and I'd get a hand full of quarters to pass the time while grampa BS'ed with the other regulars. EC has early morning bars because the town was once dominated by a Uniroyal tire factory. People got off work at bizarre hours, and naturally, they wanted to down a few old fashioneds and eat some fried curds.

[@lynn9744]

Oh yeah! I remember when it was Pinky’s! Been a while.

I'm a coal miner and worked steady midnight the past 3 years. Every shift still rotates and I get super jealous at all the old timers reminiscing about the one hole in the wall that would be open after your shift 6 days a week with cold beer and a hot meal. Seems like a working man's dream.

Thank you for busting your ass for us white collar people bro

There is a coffee shop in Philadelphia that has a bar open in the morning. I’ve seen over night hospital workers have drinks after working. It looks like a nice place too

There’s a diner in Edmond, Oklahoma that you can go in at 6 AM and get a drink and breakfast the problem is they’re only open until 2 PM

I’m so glad you featured the pull tabs. Being from the south i have had no idea what you guys been talking about on the podcast

@@dbone3356 these are put on by the state lottery(michigan has them as well) only in bars. there are different ones in private establishments that have playing card symbols printed inside the part you pull open - those are used to play a game amongst patrons for drinks & some clubs have payouts when you get an ace of spades - it's BIG in Midwest bars.

[@johnagen3688]

These bars that are open at 6am are awesome when pulling all nighters, close down a bar and go somewhere party til bar open again! Some of those bars are absolutely hopping in the am from people who haven't stopped from the night before, I remember being amazed at all the people you knew that you would run into that was still partying from the night before!!! That was so much fun, run into friends and just start laughing cause they stayed partying too!! Man those where fun and hilarious times!!!! Saturday and Sunday mornings were just hilarious with everyone still tearing it up from the night before!

[@lennybuttz2162]

We'd go out for breakfast then go down to the lake to watch the sunrise then hit the bar. Man I can't believe the drinking I did when I was young. Good Times.

[@rebeccaobrien2642]

If it isn't attached to a 70+ year old woman's house with a golden retriever behind the counter, is it really a dive bar?

I’ve been to a bar that the core was a mobile home. The ‘expansions’ had bare plywood floors and the pool table had more ruts than the gravel parking lot. But the beer was cold, cheap, and ID free

What exactly does a "bump" mean in the Midwest? 🤔

[@dave011679]

Apparently it means something completely different than what it means in Miami.

[@user-jw1lm7cl8d]

A bump...a bump into someone....in other words....a beer and some conversation....you have to be able to speak youper...words change have new meanings its like if you were alice in wonderland...sometimes you want to meet the jabber wocki...

[@bradleyboyer9979]

I'm from the midwest, and I immediately just thought cocaine.

[@user-jw1lm7cl8d]

Well its definately screams of double meaning.....which in bars there is always the double meaning for those who are into it....him using that lingo...yeah he prob does it....at least he has....i wouldnt use that lingo....but yeah its meant to mean a bump into someone...hopefully someone you know. Carry on a conversation. No one goes to a bar to drink...its quite a bit cheaper at home. You go for the atmosphere and the chance to run into someone that youll have a good time with. Ive never done coke so honestly it wouldnt of registered w me at all as anything other than hes looking for good conversation. Im from wisconsin...and have my family speaks youper so i was kinda raised multilingual.

Back in the day, it was in the middle of Control Data Corp, Cray Research and finally Silicon Graphics - not to mention the Chippewa Springs water plant - all running three shifts in their heyday. I can only guess at the number of Bloody Marys that were consumed in the early mornings.

In south central WI there is a bar called Pumpkin Center Tap. Located in Pumpkin Center (town of Juneau) opened 7 days a week with daily specials. Right across from a gun range. Pull tabs, gambling machines, and a punch board. Train tracks across the north side of the parking lot. Bar tenders are top notch and put the loudest nobs in their place.

[@kevinhaid6211]

You know someone isn't from WI when they're surprised by bars opening at 6-8 AM 😂. Not all obviously, but some open up early just so the same people who closed it 4-5 hours prior can come in and have some hair of the dog that bit em' before they go about their day. It's all but uncommon here to have your still half buzzed co-worker come in at 9 AM still reeking of booze lol. Edit: For those who dont get how heavy the drinking culture is here compared to say, orange county CA (where I originally came from), I live in a quiet residential area in a small town, on the outskirts of a bigger city. Of the 7 businesses within walking distance of me, 4 of them are bars, 2 gas stations and one grocery store/pharmacy...in a residential area of maybe a couple thousand people tops.
