This is Victorias country bar! Very small inside but every table has a bucket of free peanuts. If you are feeling wild you can sign your bra and hang it up on the wall!

Authentic hillbilly hang out! Throw your peanut shells on the floor, dodge the surprising hairy spider, and don't forget to leave there...without your bra!!! So much fun!

Popular faux hillbilly bar where you can throw peanut shells on the floor and hobnob with strangers

If you want to see a really unique decorating scheme in a cozy bar that's almost always busy and filled with people, retro music and peanuts-shelled-unshelled-that-you-can-throw-on-the-floor, go here. You can go next door to the "Strath" to dance after ($10 cover on weekends). They have a DJ, mixed age crowd, full dance floor.

Easily missed from the outside, this dark little hillbilly-themed bar feels like you've stepped into the backwoods. But rather than some dodgy banjo players with mismatched ears, you'll find good-time locals enjoying the cave-like ambience of peanut-shell-covered floors and a ceiling dotted with old bras. A good spot to say you've been to, at least once.
