A few things have changed here over the decades, but plenty has stayed the same, including the old-school charm that’s attracted multiple generations of drinkers. The open-air bar is joined by a few covered seats and lots of picnic tables on the patio, and there are several bar games, like ping pong, pool and cornhole. Come during a game to watch sports on the TVs, or just post up anytime with a Lone Star, a local beer or something else canned and cold, like a seltzer or cider. The bar opens most days at 10am.
