Article Summary
The Sound of a Bar at 9:30 PM
Glasses clinking.
Music thumping.
Three conversations layered over each other.
A bartender trying to read lips while pouring a double.
And somewhere behind the bar, the phone rings.

Twice.
Someone grabs it with one hand while wiping down the counter.

The caller hangs up.
Bars are built for energy.
