    Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. And yes, it's also the best place to race turtles. Order whatever the announcer's having.

    A dive bar that is remarkable only on Thursday night when they hold their weekly turtle races. Definitely fun entertainment with no cover. But here's a hint, don't point at the turtles. It'll cost ya.
