Red Bay is in a dry county of Alabama and you have to drive about 25 miles to the next county, which puts you in the middle of nowhere. Just across the county line a farmer has opened a bar on his 3,000 acres. It’s called the Rattlesnake Saloon and it’s very neat. It’s located in an overhang that makes it look like a cave. To appreciate how large this place is you can see that they built the entire bar under the overhang. They're only open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights but they offer a band and beer only from 5pm to 10pm. Because parking is so far from the bar, they have a pickup truck that they use as a “taxi” to and from the parking lot. They also took three old farm silos and renovated them into condos. They use them mostly during the hunting season to house the hunters. I can’t understand where this place gets all of it’s customers but they seem to be doing pretty well. I guess that’s just what happens when you’re surrounded by dry counties. In any case, it was a fun evening.
