Whilst driving through Riverside the other day I noticed that Lime (801 E Fort Ave), the only (?) tequila bar in the area, has been up for sale for a bit. I slammed on the brakes of my car to take this terrible phoneoto, injuring fourteen people in a six car pileup.
The bar had a stretch of popularity in the past few years with its free tequila soaked limes for new visitors and “flip for your tab” Wednesday special (their nachos, not so much), but recently the place had/has been a ghost town from what I’m told, so a sale at this point might be the best thing for the little green bar.
Maybe a Green Cilantro 2 is in order? XTREME CILANTRO and its Cilantro Cannon will always be the favorite, but I’m pretty sure there’s not enough room in that place for a full sized cannon, but maybe a mini-cannon? Wouldn’t want to waste too much cilantro on that one.
Speaking of cilantro, that shit tastes like dish soap. I don’t care what anyone says, one leaf of cilantro per metric ton of salsa is more than enough. Wait, what was I talking about? OOOOOO!!! HEY THAT DOG HAS A PUFFY TAIL!!
If I had a bunch of money laying around, I might think of opening that place as a Washington Capitals bar. Not that I care a whit about the Caps, but I’ll bet you could turn a profit with that concept in that particular location.
On the plus side, everyone would go there, and the rest of us would not have to hear any more about hockey.
haha, I’m not sure why, but this idea reminded me of the episode of How I Met Your Mother when Marshall takes Robin to the Canada bar.
My only visit to Lime ended poorly because Evan promised me a free tequila soaked lime and when we got there they were OUT. And then I kept trying to pay for tequila shots instead and the bartender kept looking at me like I was asking for moon dust or a unicorn horn or something. It was not good. Shortly thereafter, I did try to lie down on a marble stoop because I was wearing a snuggie and it seemed like it would be comfy, so maybe I was actually asking for a unicorn horn. I don’t know. Either way, I probably won’t miss this place.
Hang a Homre Depot sign on it and you’ll attract some real Mexican flavor.
And now for a Mexican-themed bar I actually *will* miss…
