| **The Red Bar** is a drinking establishment located just a hop, skip, and a stagger northeast of NewHome on mapsquare M6. It's patterned after a scuzzy Tennessee roadhouse, but thousands of miles away from Tennessee and without the roads. | ===== The Red Bar ===== |
| | A drinking establishment.\\ |
| |
| The origin of its name is wordplay on the red status bar next to a player's name in chat that formerly indicated that a player is offline. ((It used to be a solid red bar; as of this writing the solid red bar has been replaced by a broken bar. There has been some discussion about changing the place's name to The Busted Bar or something similar.)) Busted or no, the Red Bar is a place conveniently close to NewHome to kill time waiting for one's friends to show. | **Location:** Just a hop, skip, and a stagger northeast of NewHome on mapsquare M6.\\ |
| |
| There is stuff to do there. Like watch the bug zapper out front. Or get a memento. Or play the jukebox. Or sing the //99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall// song. Or try to get the bartender to tell a joke. ((He fucking can**not** tell a joke.)) | **What's it like?** It's patterned after a scuzzy Tennessee roadhouse, but thousands of miles away from Tennessee and without the roads.\\ |

| The running joke about the bartender is that his name would change every week, suggesting that either there is a high rate of turnover among shifty bartenders, or the owner just couldn't remember the guy's name. For a long time now his name has settled on Callahan. ((It's an //homage// to Callahan's Crosstime Salloon, a series of stories by Spider Robinson.)) He spends most of his time asleep behind the bar. | **What's with the name?** The origin of its name is wordplay on the red status bar next to a player's name in chat that formerly indicated that a player is offline.((It used to be a solid red bar; as of this writing the solid red bar has been replaced by a broken bar.
