When I click on this link using my non-pc, it takes me to You-Tube and then runs the video.  But Roger, the other video clips that are also from this bar are too risqué for this forum.  You must have had a good time. :D

Do you rodeo, Diane? Is that the correct way to ask the question?

No, I don't Tom - I think it is dull and cruel to the animals. It is just something I do when relatives visit from the UK.

4 Aces Lounge

Many years ago, my friend and I were in this bar in Hardin, Montana. The barmaid worked the rodeos during the Summer and tended bar during the Winter. She was small, cute and really friendly. Then she told us how, the night before, she'd sorted out one of the local cowboys with a few quiet words and a pool cue. The Crow and Cheyenne Indians, who live in the area, are only allowed to be served alcohol through a mesh window.
It's a very strange town.

I would report that to the human rights people - everyone should be equally allowed to get blind drunk.

Bill, I didn't see any risque videos regarding the bar but I only looked at this one.
Although friendly, it was a strange, typically redneck bar. We were aked if we had a car because it "wouldn't be safe to walk back to our motel. There was a huge poster on the wall, advising about how much beer you could drink before driving. It was something ridiculous like ten bottles of Bud or eight bottles of Coors. When we asked about it, the barmaid told us not to worry---nobody would care HOW much we drank! As it happens, we were only in for a couple before "driving safely" past the Crow Indian area to our motel. This was back in '93, but, sadly, towns like this still exist.

Sorry, Roger.  After the video you posted ran, I saw the 'Fight after 4 Aces' clip.  I have not posted this clip as it just shows brawling going on outside (and could be from anywhere in the world)

Once this ran, then the Burlesque and other videos from the 4 Aces were displayed.

such as "Aces Lounge Burlesque Show"

Roger, I only saw the intended clip but I think that was enough. I noticed a distinct lack of close-ups on the food, thankfully.
I was in a bar like this in Eastern Oregon, the ceiling was covered in US $1 notes which had been soaked in spit (or worse) and stuck there (classy huh?).
A sign on the wall offered a chance to join in the rattlesnake jamboree, some kind of annual event there, I declined.

My favourite though was a sign in the front window which stated "Unattended children will be sold into slavery". I think they were kidding.... I think.  ;)

I would post these clips here, but I fear I would get a 'Oh Dear' or two.

Max, I've mentioned this before, but there's a great sign on the Montana/South Dakota Stateline....
