I've been looking for a great country music bar ever since I moved to the City. This place has awesome live music several nights a week with no cover and the whole staff is in jeans and cowboy boots. Plus, the drinks are some of the best prices around. Specialty drinks run the usual 8 to $10 bucks but you can get margaritas and well drinks for like $5 bucks all the time. Even though they don't have draft beer, you can get buckets of beer for cheap; and not those fake buckets of beer with the tiny little Corona bottles either, I mean actual full sized beers, six of them! My boyfriend and I love to go in late after the dinner rush, like around 9:30 or 10. They have a happy hour that starts at 10 and we got like 6 PBRs and 2 margaritas for 22 bucks PLUS the bartender (super hotty..at both upstairs and downstairs bars...upstairs Superman and downstairs Lex Luthers hotter little brother) gave us a couple of shots on the house. I am so happy that I finally found a reasonably priced bar in the City that has good music and isn't too snobby/clubby or too divey either. It's never overly crowded and hot and you never have to wait in line for the bathroom which is awesome. Sometimes, if we get there early enough (before the kitchen closes) my boyfriend and I will eat something like a Jalepeno sausage or chicken breast. It comes with bread so we usually split one sausage or one piece of chicken and make 2 sandwiches for like 6 bucks. It's plenty. Oh, the chili is to die for too! And for the booze snobs, like my brother, who think PBR is beneath them, they have like a million different kinds of whiskey and bourbon and tequila. My brother is working his way across the bar until he tries them all. Do yourself a favor, go there after the regular dinner rush, like 9 or 10, grab a bite and head downstairs to the bar for free music and cheap drinks. tons of space for large groups too. I love it.
Pros: Cheap drinks, layed back atmosphere
Cons: Too packed to get in until after 9:30.
