A Texan Mos Eisley Cantina by the American Muscle

This promises to be a gigantic undertaking as the Love Chickens try and categorize and label their local pubs and watering holes into a classification system for which they can be rated and compared to one another as "The Mos Eisley Cantina/Emerald Cafe" types.

This could be a useful guide in the event a Love Chicken finds himself alone in a foreign place. This compiled list could serve as tool to located other lost Chickens looking for a place to roost for the night! Here, in Texas there are multitude of preverbial Emerald Cafes. There is one in almost every small town in Texas. Of all of these "Mos Eisley Cantina" types I would have to say you should try Arkey Blues Silver Dollar located in the "Cowboy Capital of the world" Bandera, Texas. Here we find Bandera offering up its finest fit for a "Emerald Cafe" type.

As you find your self sauntering down Main Street there is a door with a sign shaped as a silver dollar above the awnings that over hang the street. Then you notice this door which leads down a flight of stairs and with unrecognizable sounds emitting which drew your attention to the fire engine red door. Now you realize the door must go with the sign above. These sounds have peeked your curiosity your eyebrow is raised to maximum height and you decide to chance the desent into the basement entrance between two store fronts regardless of the sense you might regret it later. Here lies a set of stairs that has been traveled so many times over they are worn and uneven. When you manage your way down the stairs with an opening large enough for an 8 year girl you will find a world that most people thought was extinct! In the corner off to the right after your desent of the stairs is the stage. Here you will find what rivals the music of Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes ... You find Arkey Blues and the Silver Dollar band belting out their best renditions of Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Hank Williams, Sr. It is like stepping into the past. You notice the stairs have let out into the middle of a sawdust covered dance floor and if do not move immediately you will be trampled by those twirling all about. While the band plays those who have work so hard all week now work to forget how hard they have worked and Dance with spurs jinglin' as they Boot scoot across the Dance floor to the skretches the band offers up as music.

Here you will find the local farmers, ranchers, and cowboys in there jeans, boots, spurs, and cowboy hats looking to spend their hard earned pay on beer as your allowed to bring your alcohol. On almost every table stands a bottle of sour mash whiskey or bourbon pushing everyone to forget the weeks labors. The smoke lingers so thick it makes impossible to see across the saw dust covered floor most nights. Here you will find women of all ages, with or without teeth willing to please as long as you promise to please them back. The frequents do not take kindly to strangers with their eyes, but state all the pleasantries we have come to expect in the south.
"Ya'll comeback ya here!" It is like nothing you have ever expereinced!

I offer you up this spot in Bandera, Texas, USA as "The Mos Eisley Cantina/Emerald Cafe"
