Walking through the screen door into Rose's Lounge provides an instant but dramatic escape from the din of Lincoln Avenue. Rose's is essentially a dive -- a safe, quirky dive -- but a dive nonetheless. Rose, a small woman in her 60s who speaks with a soft Eastern European accent, has owned the place since the late 1970s and will most likely be your bartender. The best view of Rose's small barroom can be had from the barstools, also the optimal seating for quick refills of the $1 drafts and complimentary popcorn. Decorative treasures of the back bar include a section of the wall papered with faded foreign bank notes, framed prints with religious and Victorian themes, movie posters, seashell rooster sculptures and a plaster bust of Elvis wearing a Bacardi visor. The bar is framed with a
shingled awning from which green streamers and bunches of plastic grapes are draped in a vineyard motif. A 180-degree spin of the stool brings sagging strands of lights, funky tropical paintings, the pool table, dart board (resting on a ledge against the wall) and a couple of small tables into full, hazy view.
