Haven't been here in years since I don't live in Dallas anymore, but it was great back in the day. Punk rock jukebox and cheap beer. Charlie & Hank were part of the Twilite Room in the 80's nad old punk rockers like myself can dig this place. Great shows too. Anything from punk to rockabilly...I saw Wildfire Willie there in '01.
Wash: this place great to do your laundry have a beer and listen to good music...I saw Reverend Horton Heat in my first visit!!!
My favorite "dive"!: It's a great little hideaway in Expo Park - right across from the State Fair grounds and around the corner from artsy Exposition Avenue. You can do your laundry, watch a game, and enjoy cheaply priced tap beer (75 cents during "Liquid Lunch" & $1.50 - $2.50 depending on days & times). Bartender Hank (formerly of Pump'n Ethyl, the Fed-Ups, and more - including occasional sit-ins with the Necro-Tonz) makes one WICKED margarite - it's fondly known as the "Hankarita." Jimmy is a charming, funny, ladies' man of a bartender, also not to be missed. There's a full laundromat in back, as well as a fine air hockey table, video games, pinball, and a pool table in the bar area. Out back is a great patio, and they have barbecues every Sunday (and some other times as well!). The food on Sunday, the drinks, atmosphere and the regulars are all fantastic. It can be a bit rough around the edges, so delicate flowers should steer clear. Get a Hankarita Mon. - Wed. from noon to 9pm, and Saturdays from 9pm to close! Jimmy's on weekday evenings. Tell 'em Erin sent you! :)
