Tales from the Spaceport Bar

Always there's a bar

Dark and sleazy, hygienic and plastic-bright. An off-world, back-street dive or picture-windowed stellar transit station. A place where pan-galactic adventurers, roughneck asteroid miners, freighter crews, smooth talking, space travelling salespersons, assorted assassins and wide-eyed innocents forgather - along with every alien life form evolved enough to hold a glass or drink from a bottle. A place for hell-rarsing, lone drinking, dealing and whispered assignations. But above all, a place for the telling of strange tales. Where sooner or later some one will say: 'That reminds me of an odd experience I once had ...'

Tales from the Spaceport Bar by Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Roger Silverberg, Roger Zelazny, Larry Niven, Algis Budrys and a whole crowd more.
