Shape The Night
Before
Washington CommonsA beer bar on Washington Avenue with a long back yard that dogs are welcome in and a draft list in the high teens. Nobody is working the door and nobody is checking a list. It is the kind of place where the same people are there on a Tuesday at six and a Saturday at ten.
9:30 PM · The Black Press and the Double V Campaign (1942–1945)
After
Tip-Top Bar & GrillWalter Alston opened this as a pool hall in the early 1950s and his daughter Linda Greer runs it now. The jukebox plays seventies R&B, the Christmas lights and the birthday banner stay up all year, and a shot with a beer is five dollars. Thursday is snacky hour, when the wings and hot sausages are free.
