The path inside runs through a wide front porch that looks like a Texas dive bar movie set brought to life. The name of the bar is carved into a pair of ancient-looking pieces of wood hanging from the porch on either side of the dive bar’s front door. And that front door is actually more a swinging set of saloon-style doors that make for a very satisfying Texas dive bar entry. Seating along the porch is varied and looks as old as the structure itself, all of it providing home to spillover crowds and outdoor smokers.
Inside, the bones of the old bowling layout are apparent, a small raised stage at one end of a long front room where the pins once sat. This front room feels cavernous, the entire length of the structure open under a flat, black ceiling marked with stapled dollar bills at irregular intervals. These dollar bills have been placed in what feels like random patterns throughout the dive bar, heavier concentrations focused on areas near the bar. These ceiling dollars start to creep into other surfaces, including the pillars that rise from the bar itself, heavy concentrations of stapled bills found here.
A long bar runs nearly the length of this first room, a handful of stools available on either side of a serving area. Beer and wine are the only available options here with a special emphasis on domestic canned beer (naturally). The surface of the bar itself looks to have been refinished a time or two, but the years can be clearly seen in the wood along the bar back, especially the cabinets that may not be original but certainly look the part. For a space filled with stapled dollar bills, the bar back is relatively uncluttered, a cash register, a selection of available beer varieties and a toaster oven (for a few available basics) the only real landmarks here.
