Rip's

This place sure has a long legacy behind it:
After opening in 1952 as the Red Diamond,
this former residence has been known as
Cholla Bay, Louie’s, VJ’s, and McGuires
throughout the years. Things settled down
when it became the blues joint Warsaw Wally’s
for a couple of decades, but switched into the
26th Street Blues Bar, and finally Chopper John's.
Besides offering live music on Friday and
Saturday nights, this nightspot has the usual
pool tables, dart machines, and touch-screen
video games. Just don’t bust your head open
on one of the low-hanging rafters.
