Mile 13093: The pride of Pomona Park, I drop by Ye Old Tavern for a snoot! Fruitport MI.

This bar is all bar. In other words, it has no tables. The bar could be a thrust stage or a catwalk, with all acting or walking taking place on the wrap around bar counter. The bartenders work the floor inside the counter and everyone can look one in the eye. Not that everyone does. It's easy to count heads. Cuties had this configuration before that final renovation, before closing up. The owner was cooking for the house by then and his beautiful wife was trying all kinds of programming to bring folks in the door, including comics. The Highway Inn in Grand Haven and Sporty's has this setup too, but with an outer ring of tall two tops. Put a presentation up on those big screen televisions and you have yourself a situation room.
