Mr. T Visitor Guide: Mr. T’s Bowl
By Jeannette - Monday March 13th 2006
The Basics: This is not my bowling alley and they’re using my NAME.
Neighborhood: Highland Park
Address: 5621 1/2 FIGUEROA
Why You Should Visit: You tell me, fool. Just look at all the old guys in there drinking. Make a T mad. I was told they have punk bands here but the only punks I see are the ones using T’s name on the marquis.
Additional Notes:I am getting so very very MAD right now grrr!!
This may be the funniest thing I HAVE EVER SEEN. Who ever out there owns the Mr. T doll? I want to marry you and/or go drinking with you.
I pitty the fool who stops by Mr. T’s Bowl and doesn’t call his Highland Park buds! Be nice to yo momma!
The dudes drinking at the bar have been referred to as “Bukowski-types” by a friend of mine. That guy on the right seems like it.
I’ma little a-feared of going in there. Then again, I am a five foot tall Asian girl.
Check out the inset pic–Mr. T was so incensed by this blatant intellectual property infringement that one of his gold chains busted.
OMG! lol, I went in there for the first time this past Sunday and I will never go again. Cheapest dive bar ever! I have lived in the neighborhood all my life and the only people I’ve ever seen come out of that place were old. Now a bunch of wannabe hipsters go there at night to be cool because they’re partying in the “ghetto”. Sitting at home alone in the dark with a six-pack of Pabst Blue ribbon listening to music is better than going to that place.
LE… I know of a cheaper, scarier dive bar if you’re brave.
