I came here because I was craving a beer and found out this place was previously named Buckhorn Lounge. In 1981, a woman was shot and killed here during an armed robbery. I believe the killers remain unidentified, and the case has since turned into a cold case (Capital Murder). It was pretty cool.
Great place, everyone is everyone's friend here. Laid back, friendly crowd and an inviting place. A two story, one time brothel a long, LONG TIME AGO. Story goes that a jealous wife tried to burn the place down with husband inside, but that was A LONG TIME AGO TOO. No fires anymore...
Kid-friendliness: During the day kids are welcome with a parent (no drinking for the kids though... Maybe an extra for parents at or close to the end of their rope, but NONE for the kids!)...

I came in today with a credit card and when the bartender (older white lady) told me that there was a $10 minimum on credit cards, I told her to charge me for two (even though I was only planning on having one), and that I would make up the $3.50 difference with a tip.
She said that I have to get 3 for the initial charge of $9.75, which is nonsensical because that's still not $10.
So I left. I'm glad that I didn't let her...
