   I'd forgotten about the bar - when you ordered an alcoholic drink at the   
   table, they'd come back from a dark bar to bring it to you. Spent many a   
   weekend post-party debriefing and late night college study session at   
   Denny's, but never went to the bar.   
      
   When I was in college we'd get $1.99 grand slam breakfasts and spent   
   hours there doing homework. As long as the tables weren't needed, we   
   were polite and tipped well, the coffee kept coming.   
      
   As we said, "you never go to Denny's, you end up there."
