Walking into the Gasser Lounge on Aviation is like walking into a David Lynch dream sequence. Everything is dim, red and sexy. And for a rock nā roll bar with a biker mentality, the Gasser is pretty darn classy. Maybe itās this magic blend of grit and glamour that brought home the second win for best neighborhood bar to Gasserās.
Or maybe itās their laid-back approach to an otherwise trendy concept. Donāt let the Johnny Cash shrine or obscure playlist intimidate you. Gasserās is truly a neighborhood bar and strives to make all feel welcome.
āThis place is so non-pretentious it hurts,ā one loyal regular said. āI am not rockabilly, punk rock, or hipster girl and I still fit in. I love great drinks and great people and thatās exactly what you’ll find here. No one cares what you look like.ā
The drinks are cheap and well-made, the owner and staff are friendly and approachable and the tiny interior means making new friends, fast. Howdy, neighbor.
