A case of TMI---too much information...or TLI, too little. Probably when you decide the direction the story is taking, you can fix it easily. I'd like to know more about the "hero". Maybe the bartender found him "familiar" but couldn't place him exactly. Try fleshing out the scenery. U don't need to include all the details in the paragraph, but you should know exactly where your character is. Maybe our hero had been here in the past and found it just as it had been, or not.... Just a thought. I'm trying to write, too. The settings are HARD! Knowing the character is easier. Let the reader come to know him, too.
