Veritably Clean Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/aug/19/bolivia-cocaine-bar-route-36 Tonight we have two types of cocaine; normal for 100 Bolivianos a gram, and strong cocaine for 150 [bolivianos] a gram." The waiter has just finished taking our drink order of two rum-and-Cokes here in La Paz, Bolivia, and as everybody in this bar knows, he is now offering the main course. The bottled water is on the house. La Paz, Bolivia, at 3,900m above sea level – an altitude where even two flights of stairs makes your heart race like a hummingbird – is home to the most celebrated bar in all of South America: Route 36, the world's first cocaine lounge. I sit back to take in the scene – table after table of chatty young backpackers, many of whom are taking a gap year, awaiting a new job or simply escaping the northern hemisphere for the delights of South America, which, for many it seems, include cocaine. great or stupid idea? considering 100 Bolivian bolivianos = 14.24500 U.S. dollars (thanks google), that sounds like a pretty good deal, then again, i bet it's the sketchiest bar on the planet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I've been in coke bars in Philly. They eventually got shut down, of course. But none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Yeah, i forgot to specify that after those 30 minutes you'd probably want to kill everyone in the establishment and then yourself. I could actually see this happening. Maybe not from the scenario that you mentioned, but you got mad niggas yaked out they minds. In South America. I could see this bar getting shot the fuck up.

DonCheadle Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 there used to be a bar in brooklyn called "cokey's" and it was owned by an ex-cop. Lines on the bar all night, not just a clever name. Now it's just a dive bar with baskets of cheese balls in place of the yayo. They got big buck hunter safari! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
