1. The specified legal time at which a bar is no longer allowed to sell liquor, thus resulting in a particularly large group of intoxicated individuals exiting these establishments.

2. A period of time following 2:00am (in most states) when there is a statistical increase in accidents and traffic violations due to a mass exodus of drunk people from bars and pubs.

3. A particular place where such individuals tend to gather, before ultimately parting. It is usually characterized by a higher level of intoxication and a tendency toward brawling and debauchery (drunken seduction). For example, in Madison this is the corner of State and Johnson.
1. It's past two o'clock. Last call for alcohol was ten minutes ago, they're not going to serve you past bar time.

2. I'm hoping to get this rig through Brew-town before 2. I hate driving with all the crazies.

3. You don't want to walk through bar time by yourself - unless you want to get raped.

city chicken 

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.
