Drinking establishment architecture: pubs, bars, and taverns

[diablo234]

Some photos of Hoot County Saloon which is right near the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.








If you ever find yourself stranded at the airport be sure to take a cab here (be sure to go to the one on FM 1960, not JFK), and order the "Hoot County Special", also known as a nipple beer.

I visited some when I was there recently and got great pics. Also Lamb and Flag is very old. The thing is, no matter how long the place has been a watering hole, the interiors as we know them are Victorian; the idea of the central bar, etc.... pubs used to have a small opening in the wall where customers would walk up and order a drink from the attendant inside. I think it is the Lamb and Flag which kept their old barmaid's window, but built a new central bar.
I liked the Cheshire Cheese, too....

First, here is one of the oldest pubs in Canada, The Angel Inn, in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Interestingly, when it was built, Niagara-on-the-Lake was named Newark, too! It was later changed. It was built in the late 1700's, but burned to the ground in 1812 when we were invaded by American troops. It was rebuilt in 1816 and has been open for business ever since:

One other thing to note about this bar is that this is where it was signed into law outlawing slavery in Canada making Canada the second nation to abolish the use and trade of slaves.

Also TB, this picture is inside the old Core Digital Pictures owned by William Shatner (Now the Fox n Fiddle Toronto). His painting hung over the fireplace. I've been in it few times before it was a pub. So Kirk himself would have spent several hours in this room.
