Calling The Patriot a "dive bar" would be an insult to every dive barout there. It's more like the waiting room at the free clinic or thegreen room at The Jerry Springer Show—with a bar. Once, I witnessed aman "have an accident" in his pants and refuse to leave until he hadfinished his drink, much to the chagrin of all those around him. Headdown on the bar next to a plate of their delicious mini burgers andfries is an all too popular pose. If you like country music you'lllove the never ending loop of classic hits. A good rule of thumb isby the third time Dolly Parton's "Jolene" comes on it's time to go orrisk being drunk enough to be confused with the regulars.
