Base10 is running out of beach photos so he is opting for Rockaway bar photos instead. Believe me, there is no shortage of subject matter. Mr. and Mrs. Base10 will generally stop in this place for a drink and a bite to eat when in Rockaway. It's called Vaughn's Pub, but if you're in the know you would refer to it by its old name, the "Tap & Grill" or if you're really old, "Boggianoes."

This is a straight to jpeg image in B&W. I cropped and rotated it slightly, but otherwise did not alter it.

Vaughn's is okay. The food is really inexpensive (except for the clams). Rockaway Playland used to be across the street from here and the bar was almost an extension of the midway. Playland, alas, met its demise when Base10 was a teenager and the area was vacant lots for a very long time. Now there are some pretty nice houses on the site.
