      “Where

      are
      we?!
     
     
      What
      the

      all
      these
      ugly
     
     
      pictures
      of
      baseball
      players?
      Oh,
      shit.
     
     
      It’s
      Casey’s;
      that
      explains
      everything.”
     
    

    
     
      Well
      I’m
      at
      Casey’s
      Sports
     
     
      Bar.
      But
      that
      is
      the
      risk
      I’m
      willing
      to
     
     
      take,
      because
      the
      life
      of
      a
      drunken
      cor-
     
     
      respondent
      is
      not
      all
      bumpin’
      dance
     
     
      clubs
      and
      beer-stained
      rock
      joints.
     
     
      Basically,
      Casey’s
      is
      the
      downtown
     
     
      version
      of
      Pal’s
      Sports
      Bar,
      except
      it
      is
     
     
      only
      one
      room
      and
      not
      on
      the
      outskirts
     
     
      of
      town.
      Like
      Pal’s,
      you
      can
      find
      pick-
     
     
      up
      trucks
      with
      the
      Confederate
      flag
      on
     
     
      the
      front
      licence
      plate
      in
      the
      parking
     
     
      lot,
      and
      big
      guys
      with
      baseball
      hats
     
     
      shooting
      pool.
     
    

    
     
      Besides
      being
      conveniently
     
     
      located
      downtown
      on
      University
      Ave,
     
     
      Casey’s
      has
      two
      built
      in
      benefits:
      It
      is
     
     
      found
      within
      a
      hotel
      that
      is
      now
      offer-
     
    
   
   
    
     
      ing
      double
      rooms
      for
      only
      $69.00
      a
     
     
      night,
      in
      the
      instance
      you
      find
      that
     
     
      special
      someone
      belting
      out
      “Brown
     
     
      Eyed
      Girl”
      on
      Karaoke
      night.
      And
      the
     
     
      other
      good
      thing
      is
      that
      Greco
      pizza
      is
     
     
      just
      upstairs,
      so
      at
      the
      end
      of
      the
      night,
     
     
      when
      you’re
      willing
      to
      sell
      an
      organ
     
     
      for
      pizza
      because
      you
      spent
      all
      your
     
     
      cash
      getting
      shitfaced,
      you
      don’t
      have
     
     
      to
      go
      far.
     
    

    
     
      According
      to
      Coolbreeze,
     
     
      Casey’s
      is
      the
      spot
      to
      watch
     
     
      Wrestlemania
      with
      fellow
     
     
      Hulkamaniacs.
      But
      as
      far
      as
      a
      bar
     
     
      goes,
      da
      Cinephile
      and
      I
      prefer
      a
      place
     
     
      where
      we
      can
      “shake
      what
      our
      mama
     
     
      gave
      us.”
      And,
      I’m
      sorry,
      but
      it’s
      hard
     
     
      to
      dance
      to
      two
      drunk
      guys
      from
      Cape
     
     
      Breton
      playing
      an
      acoustic
      duet
      of
     
     
      “Knockin’
      on
      Heaven’s
      Door”
      on
      open
     
     
      mic
      night.
     
    

    
     
      Not
      many
      UPEI
      students
      go
      to
     
     
      Casey’s.
      Not
      to
      say
      that
      it’s
      impossible
     
     
      to
      have
      fun
      at
      this
      bar.
      If
      you
      get
      the
     
     
      right
      group
      of
      people
      and
      the
      guys
     
     
      doing
      open
      mic
      are
      not
      playing
      Adam
     
     
      Sandler
      songs,
      then
      this
      place
      can
      be
     
     
      great
      for
      a
      night.
      Or
      if
      you
      are
      looking
     
     
      for
      a
      spot
      to
      have
      a
      few
      cheap
      drinks
     
     
      and
      a
      couple
      laughs
      before
      you
      head
     
     
      out
      to
      better
      bars,
      make
      Casey’s
      your
     
     
      first
      stop
      of
      the
      night.
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      “Time
      me.”
     
    
   
   
    
     
      [16]
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      “Casey’s
      got
      a
      booty
      that
      just
      won’t
      quit.”
