Looks like Donut Barn on waitress’s shirt. iPhone zoom gets fuzzy though.

I'm not sure those Hazard County folks would take kindly to the Yankee garb hanging on the walls though. Just saying.....

It’s a landmark rustic bar and grill right on Chester creek.
It’s been here since I first moved here in 1970 as far as I know.
Open till 2:30 am every day.

That pic was at like 10:30 last night.
Shoulda took a pic outside as it was still perfectly daylight out

That bar is only about an hour from me. And yes I've had a few beers there. It was a fun little place in the 80s.
Back when the coal hills were still open for ORV's we spent half our summer there, many a dollar bill on the ceiling.

Just an example of how times have changed, we could ride from coal hill #9 to the Yamaha dealer for parts if we rode on the shoulder and didn't block traffic. You could also ride to Ronald and Roslyn on the shoulders, pretty cool to pull up to the #3 tavern for lunch and there would be bikes, quads etc. in the parking lot.

We used to ride our dirt bikes to school (MX 250, brother had a TC 90 all stripped down)
We’d race the school bus and show off for the girls doing tabletops over the driveways and crossroads. We’d ride them into Eagle River from our house on Fire lake the same way.
In the winter we did the same on our snomachines. Lots of kids did.

Bullfrog Flats, coal hills 4,5 and 9....On the big weekends you could hardly find a place to pitch a tent. I was late teens early 20's during that period man that was some good times.
