Editorial Review for Rodeo Bar – by Drew Pisarra
The Scene
Happily distressed best describes the look of this inner-city honky-tonk. Weathered plank paneling, wagon wheel chandeliers and giant rusted signs assert the backwoods, despite the view of Third Avenue through contiguous, tinted glass windows. The three-story main room houses the primary bar, an informal restaurant and an upper level for drinkers and diners. In the second space, find a small stage for performances and another drink station constructed from a refurbished horse trailer.
The Draw
Country may be king, but you'll find a diverse music lineup. As well as torch-and-twangers like the foot-tapping Jimmy Nations Combo, audiences get an audio uplift from the swing band the Flying Neutrinos and the blues-rockabilly act the Mercy Brothers. The full menu of enchiladas, barbecue ribs and steak pushes pub grub in a decidedly Western direction. Kitschy delicacies like the Fat Elvis--a deep fried banana chimichanga with chocolate sauce--add to the charm.

Insider Tips
Where to SitHead to the back of the second floor, where you'll find a lounge area with a handful of couches.
What to DrinkPlay the part. Order a bottle of Lone Star. You're unlikely to find the brand at many other bars in town.
When to GoYou can hear free, no cover live music every night of the week, but you can get $3 drafts only on Mondays during football season.
Save MoneyHappy Hour is Monday through Friday from 4pm through 8pm.

I'm from Texas originally and it's a fun place to go when you want to have 10 friends together for a birthday, sit around and eat snacky, casual food (fried pickles - suprisingly yummy) and get a little crazy. They have a lot of areas for groups to hang out in. It's rowdy and busy so sometimes it can be a little bit of a wait for things. But if you're nice they will definitely buy you a round! And the fajitas are almost as good as Pappasito's.
