The lobby of Art & Beer
Lourdes, Alfredo's wife, is on the right.
When my wife (Gnome-ad), on the left, finds out I posted this picture, I guess I'll be sleeping on the couch...

That's the guy I ran into-----------look at the wild look in his eyes--------he is ready to explode!!! 
As for having "an attitude", my wife is the sweetest person I have ever known and she almost never gets mad-----I thought she was going to
explode------she had to leave the place to keep from hitting they guy with a bottle------
I have honestly NEVER had any problem with any other restaurant folks in MY LIFE.
This guy is nuts, and I think all the varied posts tends to prove that-----totally skitzo, this guy------multible personalities. You can deal with
that if you want, but not me ever again.

The Infamous Bathroom at Art & Beer
Why some people are not allowed to use this bathroom???
It's bizarre what some people have posted on this thread.
I don't doubt some people were denied access, but why?
As for me, I would pay a "cover charge" (if there was one) just to see inside this palapa bathroom. It's quaint, rustic, romantic, and well, it has a
functional toilet: To flush it you have to dumpt water scooped from a big barrel (behind where I'm standing to take this picture). At night its lit by
candlelight...

Absinthe - after being outlawed in Europe for various reasons (wood alcohol?), it is now being produced again. So, you could probably find it
somewhere. |
I don't know how else to drink it. In all my years behind the bar, it was used very little. It's only on the market as a legal substitute for
Absinthe which became illegal for containing a Wood Worm narcotic or something like that. It's full of dope. That's why I doubt the real item is on
the store shelves. I don't know. It's Tijuana.

It looks like some tried to use it but, missed. That must say something about the fast acting food.

Phil S.
I am a retired Federal Cop-----maybe he sensed that, or maybe even I mentioned it before he went ballistic (but I don't think so)------and maybe he
hates cops----who knows------I am only reporting what happened, with no imbellishments. I will admit that he did not seem to have any problems with
the other couple with us------they both sorta admired his "art", and I was not that impressed, but did try to hide that----maybe not well enough.
As for a cover charge-----my Gawd, isn't $36 bucks USA enough of a "charge" to gain access to a bathroom??
When we left, the other couple did say that this guy was a bit nuts in their opinion-------they don't think I did, or said, anything to deserve his
wolverine reaction.
When he told my wife that she could not use the restroom, I did say, "you have got to be kidding" and laughed (I really thought he was
kidding)----that did not help things as he was deadly serious---------from there things deteoriated rapidly!!! especially when my wife went ahead and
used the bathroom, with me guarding her outside the door.
Miserable guy------needs to go sit on the beach and chill out .

All very interesting. I've wondered about the place when we've driven by. I thought it must be really good or really bad, but we've never stopped.
Now I'm wondering about the art. Any one have pictures to post?

This guy owes jeffw and you, Barry, more than an apology. He couldn't buy advertising as effect as he's getting here for free. Now, even those who
are convinced that he's really Charles Manson will stop in to see what it's all about.

Man, I gotta meet this guy.
Better yet, next week, I will bring like 50 of my racer friends by to say hi.
Minnow: signing off for a couple of weeks. Be careful all.

"EXPLODE"
Amir-----
Do I really have to explain???
A figure of speech-------you know, like REALLY UNCONTROLLABLY MAD??? not litterally as you suggest.
Our anger fed off each other to the point of getting out-of-control.
After seeing those pictures of "art", it all comes back to me---------- I guess I
am just not an appreciator of THAT type of art.

Thanks, Amir.
As a person who really loves good abstract, I think from the picture that his stuff doesn't work, though the orange and blue piece on the right may
have something happening.
Not a sign in his favor

I guess I have to agree with the mirror thing. I love the Bloody Mary's, and after a few of those things, it's hard to take the "complimentary" beer
at the end. I just take it and dump it by the car. One of these days, the local constabulary will figure this thing out as a great scam. Get pulled
over....donde viaje? Art & Beer....300 pesos profavor! I have heard he's had "problems", but he's so damn colorful! What's an extra 20 minutes!?!
Anyway, I still recommend it. Baja is full of the good and the bad. What matters is how you deal with it!!
Whoa there, Cowboy - pull back on those reins!

WOW!
Wow, you guys, this is fascinating to read, and great timing too because I am about to head down there for the first time and just yesterday on the
Trip Advisor forum this place was RECOMMENDED to me by someone who seems pretty savvy about Baja. WEIRD!! I was told it's a hidden gem. I am SO GLAD I
saw this post prior to my departure!
One of you really should get onto the trip advisor forum (under Los Cabos forums) and mention what the reality of this place is!!!!

Well, DonnaMare..... That could be a most important task on your trip. To discern the truth, according to you, and give is an unbiased report.
We'll look forward to it.
And please, let us know if the old man changed his stained shirt.
