That was expected because of the holiday. Another line for drinks inside, but also went by quickly. We snagged a booth and stayed a while. We had a decent time and I'm glad we made the stop. Would visit again, but not needing to. Would love yo see the vibe on a non-Holiday night. Very divey but also spacious. There's also a small smoking area/patio.

As a hobby, I chart possessions at Division 2 basketball games. I've been doing this, in an…read moreunofficial capacity, for Metro State for years. I always chart the Elite 8 Division 2 MBB tournament. I was able to chart the quarterfinals and semifinals off the internet. However, the title game was only on CBS network tv and I don't own a television. The bar where I usually chart the title game closed suddenly. As for the chart, here is the link to my work: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:22f7acfc-bb24-4aaf-86a3-4b23e31029ca Rachel at Cleopatra's came to the rescue! They are across the street from where I live and she set up the TV and volume. The picture below is my set up. I ate a delicious pizza and had a Diet Coke. Yes, I left a $10.00 tip! They have a great setup for Karaoke as well. You can get in the que via your cell phone. Great place, even with the cigarette smoke!

Maybe. Probably not, but willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. It feels like they found it on the side of the road in the middle of Iowa, dusted it off, gave it some spit shine and put it to work. And then personally curated only the most saccharine, soulless, slop they could find, really digging for the worst humanity had to offer on vinyl. It falls short of a crime. But not by much. If the US Gov't weaponizes that jukebox, we'd all be dead. It's the ICE of jukeboxes. If you can manage that and you're able to counter the irresistible urge to jam the small end of a screwdriver in your ear and wiggle it around real fast, then it's a cool bar.

Most customers were seated at the u-shaped bar deep in conversation with their friends. Love that the cheap but strong drinks come with colorful bendy straw.

The Grizzly Rose takes pride in providing live country music, five nights per week. During my visit on a Saturday night, I enjoyed listening and dancing to the music of Duey & Unbroken. The 40,000 square feet of this country dance hall is impressive. Surprisingly, only 2,500 square feet is allocated to the dance floor. This is too small for the demand placed on it during a Saturday night. The front half of the dance floor is devoted to country swing dancing, while the back half is reserved for line dancing. This leaves no room for progressive partner dancing, i.e., two-step (as is normal across Texas). Country swing could not have been the prevailing form of partner dancing here since the inception of this honky-tonk in 1989. So, what year did it displace two-step? I enjoyed the line dance lesson at 7 p.m., followed by the country swing dance lesson at 8:15 p.m. Strangely, two-step is how the opening pattern taught for country swing, before it abruptly switches to country swing. Yet, they refer to all of this as country swing. This supports my suspicion that country swing hijacked two-step at some point in the history of this honky-tonk. If this is how locals here are brought up on country dancing, they're in for a surprise, if and when they go to honky-tonks across Texas, where two-step prevails. Given how crowded the dance floor gets, they might consider expanding it by another 1,000 feet or more. Then it might be possible to spare enough room on the perimeter to bring back progressive partner dancing (two-step, three-step, partner cowboy cha-cha, etc.). The main seating and walkways are concrete ground, which can wear on your feet. Therefore, I doubt the average person lasts more than a few hours of dancing before throwing in the towel.

I used to love the Grizzly Rose, but the last two or three years have seen such an increase in the…read morecrowd that I won't be going back. The dance floor is filled with wall to wall people like a standing room only concert and when that is full they jam themselves into the areas around the tables. Grizzly Rose needs to seriously lower their "sold out" status by at least a hundred people. The drinks are also expensive. I seriously don't know what the draw is anymore - no room to dance and expensive beer. I won't be going back.

I'm the weirdo that actually likes Malort, along with other bitter stuff like amaros and Campari. What grosses me out is sweet stuff, so I'll take all the bitter stuff. Did you know Malort smells pretty good? Check if it's happy hour! Also, being greeted by that big, fluffster, gentle giant pupster helped with the first impression :)

To respect the event I was attending, my objective at Trash Hawk was to obtain a ginger beer to have with my burger. They did not have ginger beer but offered ginger ale. They sat down a drink in my vicinity that had a lime with it and it took a sip, and it turned out to be a margarita that belonged to a nice lady. I was confused why there was a lime. The bartender gave me my ginger ale and made the lady a new margarita. Being a trash panda aficionado, I was delighted with the aesthetics of the place. Someday when I'm not striving for sobriety, I'll be back.
