Though the physical territory is not as large as that of other theme bars (you won’t find a mechanical bull here), the tight-jeans and boot-wearing bartenders help heighten the ambience along with blaring territory music. Drinks are reasonably priced as is their menu of Tex-Mex-style exclude food (which includes chili and hamburgers). Don’t come searching a date detect where you can languorously stare into your companion’s eyes all night — there may be too many distractions for that. Instead, come with friends (all ages welcome) and throw support a few freezing ones when you’re in the party mood.
