The neon lights outside scream Miami. The black-tiled floors inside scream, "We haven't been waxed since 1926!" These characteristics seem to be celeb bait: Keith Richards and Cameron Diaz have been spotted here.

The selection on the jukebox is great, too. Featuring everything from Benny Goodman to Frank Sinatra to The Bar-Kays, it's arguably the best jukebox in Gotham.

Shiny outside, gritty inside. Writer Charles Bukowski, whose favorite subject was the City of Angels, drank here often. His portrait hangs above the cash register.

Legend has it that Jimmy Carter, a friend of Pinkie's, stood on the bar and announced his run for the presidency here. This legendary Georgia haunt still draws politicians, as well as art students and aged regulars.

Didn't get what you ordered? Do not under any circumstances complain. Just drink it and like it. The outdoor beer garden makes all that gruffness worth it. Although the garden's infamous portable toilets have been replaced with real restrooms, the Zeitgeist still maintains plenty of gritty charm.

The scene here might appear little rough, but the patrons are affable and accustomed to following Ginny's posted rules: "No Cussin', No Fussin', No Hasslin', No Wrasslin'!"

Don't mind the haunted jukebox that plays whatever it wants whenever it wants or the two ghosts who like to wander the hallway. The friendly apparitions are just Earnestine and Hazel, two sisters who ran this former dry goods store and brothel a million years ago.

If you can't see the Saints game on the TV, a cute bartender pouring a big glass of water and two cops talking to you in this picture, it's time to go.
