We saw the lights from Bimbo's reflecting off the lake from our campground so I knew we'd be checking out this place for sure. And it really is an octagon. It has the coolest interior & I wish I had taken pictures of it. One wall is covered with a huge painted on map of the area. Behind the bar is what we dubbed 'Whorehouse' wallpaper. It's red and has velvety designs on it. I love that stuff! There are old photographs, of what I assume are actresses or singers, in a couple of places. And there are a couple of places they've exposed the old wood logs that make up the walls. In the addition they have a stage and even a video game room.
However, the drinks were pretty mediocre. I might as well have been drinking cranberry juice. And they did something I've never seen before. They charged for the mix separately. They have a full menu but we weren't very hungry and just ordered the nachos. What we got was one of those little paper boats with some tortilla chips and a little cup of salsa and a little cup of salsa.
Pete says we probably wouldn't go back if we're in the area. Me? I'm a little more realistic.
