Dive Bar Shirt Club: Buckhorn Bar


Stand back -- I think I have an official favorite Dive Bar Shirt Club t-shirt! I opened up the package and loved this thing. It's a faded red and has a distressed logo/design on the front. Very cool looking. It actually reminds me of the Old School t-shirts on WWEShop.com. Well, here's a thing or two about the bar itself:


When you're feelin' kinda parched in old downtown Laramie, you can mosey on over to the Buckhorn. It took more than a hundred years to get it like this, the perfect watering hole for the cowboy spirit that likes to range and ride. Mounted rifles and wildlife are caught in time. Art and artifacts pay their respects to the manly pursuits and the woodsman's blade carves out an adventurous history. There's something in every nook and cranny and each with a story. Some stories were punctuated with fistfights and guns. Random bullet holes remind folks what can happen when one too many meets up with love gone wrong. Upstairs you find the parlor for a different level of amusements. In the old days in this neighborhood the upper floors could mean female pleasures. It's no different at the Buck. You have your own bar, live music and a well-worn dance floor to find your groove with your gal. The night of the hunter is dark and dangerous and you might want to take care. This place can be a temptation to whip out that six-shooter.

From Urban Dictionary...

Buckhorn Bar
Located at 2nd and Ivinson in Laramie, WY It is a historic den of sin once known for prostitutes and whiskey drunk cowboys.

It is now frequented by the only ten black people in wyoming (University of Wyoming Basketball team) and the blackout drunk white girls trying to sleep with them.
