Your A List: Best Jukebox
My personal test for Best Jukebox: It must include the movie theme from “Valley of the Dolls.” If a dive is wise enough to include that ode to dissolution on its play list, then I promise to recreate Neelie’s hysterical Shubert Alley scene, personally, histrionically, every time I visit.
Other imbibing establishments were not far behind: Deep Eddy Cabaret (15 percent); Casino El Camino (13 percent); Ginger Man (12 percent) and Side Bar (11 percent).
Then we move on to the real dives, not the pretend variety (I like ‘em both): G&S Lounge (9 percent); Poodle Dog (8 percent).
The final three gin joints are good, too: Club de Ville (5 percent); Barfly’s (4 percent) and Longbranch Inn (2 percent).
If I weren’t suffering from a horrible, mean, nasty cold right this very minute, I’d be out testing each spot for their “Valley of the Dolls” credentials. And I’d bring along my sister in crime, Stephen Macmillan Moser.
