Our new favorite thing to do at Bender’s: Examine the dozens of funny confiscated (or donated or maybe discarded?) IDs encased in three custom-made tabletops across from the food counter. Some are funny because the pictures are funny. Some are funny because the names are funny. Some are funny because the quality of the forgery is funny. At the very least, you’re sure to at least find one that looks like someone you know.

Our new second favorite thing to do at Bender’s: Eat burgers at the bar’s free Sunday afternoon backyard barbecue.
