DOLLAR GOES IN THE DAMN PIG

About Me


4812 Mount Bonnell Rd
Mon-Sat 4pm-9pm


High atop Mount Bonnell Road. quite literally surrounded by million-dollar homes, is Dry Creek Bar, a two-tiered, time capsule of a roadhouse still holding on to a simple formula of what made it popular 50 years ago: ice-cold beer, a tarpaper rooftop deck with a gorgeous sunset view and a scratchy jukebox.
