It took a considerable amount of effort to get someone to go to Mounties with me. Perhaps because of the men who can often be lying on the sidewalk outside. Or the irregular hours. Or the fact that the only evidence I could find of anyone going was a Vice article( ). I was pleasantly surprised. The bar tender was friendly and seemed pretty excited to have new faces at the bar. The regulars were content to sit quietly by themselves. I even used the bathroom and it was not that bad, Vice article warnings aside. Perhaps because Mounties seems like a place where not a lot of people use the ladies room. Why you should go: $ 1.75 baby beers, a fish tank, pool table, all the space you want. Go before that giant condo next door opens and it gets gentrified.
