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.
