Probably the most historic bar in west texas...at least in alpine. It's not as "cool" as it used to be back in the day, but still a great spot to check out. They have food trucks outside, also! Most bars are in walking distance from each other so feel free to bar hop!

I would highly recommend their green curry or Tom ka (probably spelled that wrong). Their soup/curry dishes are incredible. And he will make them as spicy as you want.
