A Guy Walks Into 365 Bars…Again! Bar Number 164: Da Joint

by MBIP


The other evening, while chatting with Shaun at Dave’s Bar, he told me that his brother owned a bar on Laramie Street called Da Joint.

So that’s where we’re going tonight. See how easy this is?

Bar Number 164: Da Joint, Tuesday, July 14, 2026

Here we are at Da Joint. Let’s go in da door and see what’s happening in there.

Looks like the bar is down there at the end of the room…

Yep, there it is in all of its glory and there’s plenty of seats available. Let’s grab one and get settled in for the evening.

Kealei was the pretty and friendly bartender on duty and here she is serving me up a bottle of Budweiser. We’re off to a fantastic start in here!

Here’s a shot from the other side of the bar and check out the blue hue in the back of the bar, nice!

Mark and Rick were seated at the bar and I had a nice conversation with them and they posed with Kealei for this photo! Great to meet and chat with all of them!

There’s a half bar and chairs in front of the bar and a table and chairs up front in this corner.

Here’s a photo on the wall of the place back when it was called “Laramie Gardens.” If you look carefully you can also see an obligatory mirror shot happening in this photo. I love it when this happens!

Da Joint hosts pool leagues and they have four pool tables. Two in the front and two in the back.

There’s gaming machines in this corner opposite the bar.

Mark your calendars for the upcoming cookout and pool tournament on Saturday, August 15th, just short of a month from now!

I love this!

Here’s a final shot from the back of the bar.

Da Joint is a fun and friendly neighborhood bar and you should stop by and check it out!
