When Gene and Smoopy of the BBC were here a couple weeks ago, we stopped in for a quick drink at Rolf’s and I noted at the post I was going to come back for an official MAD visit. Tonight’s the night I go out in search of a swizzle stick and I thought that Rolf’s would be the perfect place to go, maybe they even have some sort of a Christmas swizzle! Let’s go see if a holiday miracle happens in the form of a swizzle stick tonight!
It's a rainy, dreary night out, but at least it's not freezing cold, so let's soldier on to Rolf's.
Well, Rolf's certainly can brighten up a dreary-ass night!
A peek inside the front window reveals the blinding Christmas orgy of lights and decorations inside, let's go check it out.
A street sign greets you as you walk in the door to the festive atmosphere.
The bar is crowded for a Tuesday night.
There's no swizzle stick, just a black plastic straw, but that's okay, there's more to see here than a swizzle stick, so let's take a look around.
Here's the back of the bar in all its lit up glory.
Wooden booths line the walls opposite the bar.
And the creepy dolls are still here. Yikes, she's staring at me!
The back dining room is lit up as well. Check out the deer head on the wall, talk about your deer in the headlights!
Here's Santa boozing it up, looks like Rudolph isn't going to be the only one with a red nose tonight.
There's a blowjob joke somewhere here, but I'm not going there.
Here's Johnny who's a waiter at Rolf's.
And another scary doll looking down at me. These doll's are giving me a Twilight Zone Talking Tina flashback.
Let's go back to the bar.
Here's the lovely Milka, who was picking up an order at the bar. Love her smile!
For a nightcap, I got a glass of Rolf's special eggnog, no swizzle stick, but there is a cinnamon stick, so we'll call it an even trade. Goodnight everybody and see you tomorrow after dark.
