These days, establishments selling liquor are divided into two main groups.
Normal stores selling "new-style liquor", and those selling "old-style liquor".
New-style liquor is what's commonly and widely drunk; it's designed so that you can't get horribly drunk from it. The chance of becoming dependent on it is low, and it's relatively harmless to the body.
Old-style liquor is the kind that's been drunk since a long time ago, made by natural yeasts. Most such liquors include alcohol, but none contain enzymes or such things that help break down the alcohol. You drink it, you get sloshed.
This "Old Adam" bar specially dealt in old-style liquor.
In establishments serving new liquor, people don't binge drink, so they're generally very clean. They're sound and hygenic places.
On the other hand, old-style liquor establishments-- perhaps modeled after classic drinking places-- are often old, unclean buildings. Also, their guests somehow tend to be unpleasant people.
However, old-style liquor is the more expensive and valuable kind.
An inversion of ideologies is occurring. In short, those with money to spare are choosing to drink themselves under the table in unkempt pubs.
