The Police once sang, “When the world is running down, you make the best of what’s still around.” Thankfully, beyond the dust and haze of downtown’s streetcar-track construction, The District Tavern and its “$3 Special” is still around. The $3 Special consists of a single stinging shot of Old Crow whiskey, and a cold bottle of Miller High Life. When you knock back a few of these babies, you’ll forget about the parking woes, the labyrinth-like walk to your next destination, and the endless jack-hammering outside. So, order a few of these without worrying about putting a dent in your pocket; soak up the atmosphere; enjoy some bands; and try not to rush the chain-link fence.
