All right, folks. This here estabisment is for any and all range writers lookin' for a bottle of whiskey or a bucket of beer. Or, if your lookin' for a quiet corner to start up a friendly poker game, there are plenty of empty tables for that too. In other words if you're of the few who enjoys westerns and history-- fiction/ non-fiction, and would just like to say howdy or whatever else is on your mind, drop on in. Bar is open.

Howdy! Any upstairs rooms free? I need a bath and some company of the female persuasion, not necessarily in that order!

Or just... the first 500 words of any of the Western stories that have been galloping through my head for too long.

Dangit! I feel undressed without my sidearm; promise you ain't packin'. Don't rightly know if I should be in this here saloon yet seeings as how I still got some mighty intense editing to do on my western novel. But it's getting close folks, gettin' close - an' then I can see whether I can do anything with it. Puma

A small dog limps into the saloon. He looks around, then walks up to the bar.

"Hey, Barkeep," he says. "I'm lookin' for the man who shot my paw."

Ain't got no iron a feller can see. I'll have a slug of the good stuff, not that horse piss you pass off on the riders as Kentuck's finest. That an' a square deck would suit me just fine.

"Is that right," said the barkeep. "What does he look like?"

The small dog turned toward the stranger drinking whiskey alone at a table in the back of the room. He raised his pawless front leg and pointed.

The barkeep reached for a spittoon and placed under the the small dog to catch the the blood.

"Maybe you ought to see the doc or that snake oil salesman outside bout that first."

"I don't trust that snake oil salesman none. Feller claims to be a battery, but folks know they ain't even been invented yet."

The dog pounds on the bar with his crippled leg.

"Ouch."

Then he changes legs and pounds again.

"Gimme some of that, there Rotgut, Barkeep. Leave the bottle.

"Oh. And bring me some bevnaps. I got me some blood to clean up here."

The barkeep pours a glass, before leaving the bottle to head down to the other end of the bar.

"What're you lookin' at, its the good stuff."

This here place seems a lot like the Comedy Cabaret, except with ten gallon hats and western accents.
