Lipsweet of Richmond
Description
Lipsweet was a big, wide bar with a low ceiling, like an excavated basement-cum-dive bar. It was between a crackhouse on one side and a Gilded Age mansion being used as the headquarters for a global fashion chain on the other side. Above it were apartments, Avery was pretty sure, but he thought they were being used as flophouses and fuckrooms by the waitresses at Lipsweet.
Avery went there a lot because a lot of intensely arousing wrestlers came through. Nearly every night there was a match on the TVs in every corner. American-mixed league wrestling was on right now, of course, but they showed the European League tournament matches, the Greco-Roman American League, the International Pehlivan League in the spring, wrestling entertainment shows in the afternoon, etc. Boxing and MMA sometimes graced the screens too.
