I came here with my son-in-law gor a pint as he had been here before. It was a bright, sunny day, so when we walked in, it took a minute or two for my eyes to adjust to the darkness. One of the claims to fame for Big Bad John's is the collection of bras that women have left behind in order to get a free t-shirt. By the looks of things, there are a lot of braless women wearing Big Bad John's t-shirts. And if you don't want to give up your bra, you can just buy a T-shirt. No men's underwear or jock straps hanging in the bar, so I guess there is no free t-shirt option for men! We did come up with new names for the house band, such as Uncle Whiskey and the Dusty Bras or Whiskey Dick and the Dusty Bras. Besides all the Bras, there is paper money all over the walls with messages and names of past patrons. There is too much to read in a single visit. Salted peanuts in the shell are in small plastic buckets 🪣 at each table. Eat the peanuts and throw the shells on the floor. The occasional surprise for newcomers. This place needs to be a stop for cruise passengers! It is a great place for beer and peanuts 🥜

Watered down $15 drinks. Security letting in people way to intoxicated, then fights happen. The Strath has been the place for fighting to happen for many years.
