1. Postcard from West Austin - "Drinking at The Dry Creek"
A beer at Austin's Dry Creek Cafe will only cost you $3. What’s more, at the time of our visit their bartender, Angel, was only the third to work there since 1953. We’ll swap stories with her over a cold one, learn about the cedar choppers who once drank here from author Ken Roberts, and hear Bobby Earl Smith perform the murderous love ballad this salty joint inspired. We’ll also talk about the infamous Sarah, who was named in her obituary “the meanest bartender in Austin,” and explore the nearly seven decades of history this hidden dive, now surrounded by mansions, has borne witness to. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/evan-stern1/message
