Scott and Paul
Paul: It's a very diverse crowd. You can come here as whomever you are.
Scott: Yeah, it doesn't matter. There's no preconceived idea of who you have to be.
Steve: No judgement. At least not to your face.
Paul: I've been coming here for 30 years. I remember coming here right after I bought my first house, 19 years ago. I was emotional, and I remember coming here, drinking a bit, marching right outside and throwing up my emotions. Life happens here, good and bad.
Steve: And the beauty of The Hole is that you don't remember what happens here. I'm being serious—it's not a bad thing. You come and have fun.
Paul: I miss when they used to have jello shots off people's bellies. They'd put whipped cream on them, and lick the jello and whipped cream off your stomach. Frothy stuff.
Steve: They should really bring that back.

Brian, Bartender
SC: She's full of shit.
GM: I've only lived here since '06. This one's been here how long?
SC: Since 1978. I'd have to say the craziest thing I've ever seen was when Sister Notorious got her veil stuck in a swamp cooler and it sucked her right in. They stopped it in time, thank God, but girl, she was wrecked. It's just fun here on Sundays. Sunday is funday. You think we go to Church on Sundays? Nooo, Sunday is funday.
GM: Probably before you were born, this whole patio used to be dirt and gravel. You could come over, have a burger and someone to relieve you of all your tension. There used to be a little backyard out there they called the Vulcan East. [NOTE: Vulcan is a San Diego bathhouse.] They used to frolic in the weeds. The guys didn't know which direction they were going, but they knew where they were coming. But, you know, it's changed a little over the years. We're a little more reputable now.
