As someone who tends to avoid them, my problem with horrible, divey venues is that it can be hard to know if you're listening to the future or desperately trying to convince yourself that something is making this all worth it. By the time I knew CBGB's was cool, it was already dead. Before I would have known it was cool, I wouldn’t have understood why I wanted to go. Which is the point, I suppose.

At least the same conundrum exists with the modern, horrible divey venues. Usually, I don't go to a show unless I know at least one band that's playing, at least in passing through friends. That still doesn't mean I haven't stood through some absolute dreck. The bathrooms at some of these places tend to be a little cleaner, these days, though. Probably because they're pulling double-duty during the day as restaurants, or the like.
As for menu items, no Down at the Rock and Roll Club Sandwich?

For Lou Reed’s Chefs, a Walk on the Mild Side
“There was one dessert he really loved, and I would make it for him,” Mr. Bouley said. Served in different variations at Bouley and Brushstroke, it was a parfait made by squeezing the juice from citrus fruit (clementines and tangerines, for instance), thickening it with a Japanese starch called kuzu and topping it with a quenelle of lychee sorbet. Sweetness came from the fruit, not from added sugar.
“I told him, ‘Lou, you’re still crossing over to the wild side and having dessert,'” Mr. Bouley said. “He wouldn’t have one. He would have two.”

There is a Sub Pop souvenir store in the Sea-Tac airport. I'd be lying if I said I wasnt' tempted to buy everything in it, but then I have reached an age where I would rather spend $50 on a comfy hoodie that I can wear while I stay home and listen to Mudhoney from my couch.

Because the universe is a deep amoral sea that slowly freezes us all with cold indifference.
