Your A-List: Best Jukebox
It was a case of the old dog on the block beating the slightly-less-old dog in the vote for best jukebox, with Deep Eddy Cabaret (20 percent), edging out Casino El Camino (18 percent).
If you like your beer cold, cheap and served in about as unpretentious environment as you can find this close to downtown, then chances are you’ve probably been to the bar that shares its name with the adjacent swimming hole.
You’d be hard pressed to find a more laid-back crowd, full of old locals and youngsters with a taste for the old school. And, if you’re in Deep Eddy, you’re likely enjoying some of the classics while you sip on your beer with the friendly bar staff and colorful locals. Nothing goes with a cold Lone Star like some musical accompaniment from the Red Headed Stranger or old Blue Eyes, and rare is the time you can get out of the place without hearing at least one of their tunes. And what other bar in town can you find where you might end up giving Jerry Jeff Walker a piggy-back ride in the parking lot a la my friend Anthony Lostracco?
