La Crosse's Ugliest Tavern

I may be wrong since La Crosse has about 70 taverns and bars but I can't recall seeing a more hideous local tavern exterior than Nighthawks Tap shown here at Third and King streets in downtown La Crosse. Oh, let me count the ways: (1) The stucco front. Good looking stucco buildings are rare as snow in July but this mess is really bad, especially with the two dark gray patch jobs. And to think someone at one time decided to use stucco here to cover up old bricks. Sad! (2) The remnants of old signs which can be seen on the stucco behind existing signs. Guess the owner has never heard of paint. (3) The use of crappy signs (with poor letter spacing) plastered everywhere. And what's with the pink lettering on the sidewalk signboard? Now that's easy to read. (4) The small, bunker-like windows. Ah, but who wants sunlight when sitting in a smoky old bar? You could not pay me to walk into a bar that looks this bad as it almost shouts out "C'mon in and get beat up by some toughs!" I will keep my eyes peeled for more ugly buildings in La Crosse. Stay tuned.
