Most people would assume that the term “happy hour” gets its name from the idea that discounted drinks and social events tend to make people happy. This bar, however, wants its patrons to arrive happy and already in a good mood.
Those in different moods will be treated questionably so if you ever find yourself feeling thirsty, but in a mood that’s not exactly “happy,” you might want to avoid this bar in the Texan town of Blanco. Your unhappy mood will not be welcomed.
Which Way?
Thanks to apps like Google maps, you don’t have to be the Lewis and Clark of your friend group in order to interpret a map. That said, it’s still easy to get lost when directions are vague or given by someone who is terrible at giving directions.
Luckily, this street in Lake Jackson, Texas is the perfect place for someone with a terrible sense of direction to wander around! All they have to do is go “this way” or was it “that way”? Either way, we’re sure they’ll get to their destination eventually...
Best Part of Waking Up
If you thought that breakfast was the best part of waking up, then these Texans are going to prove you wrong. Apparently, they know that like a cup of coffee, gossip is best served hot and as early as possible.
So forget the eggs and toast, these Southerners are filling up on the latest and juiciest gossip to get their day ready. Just keep in mind that while the coffee and food continue to be served throughout the day, your window for telling lies closes before seven in the morning.
Miss You Too
In the days when it was popular to send a postcard from an exotic destination, it was common to end your message by saying “wish you were here.” This charming bar called the Cartoon Saloon in Texas decided to put its own spin on the popular letter salutation by changing it to “wish you were beer.”
There’s also the possibility that the sign has nothing to do with the popular saying, and maybe they just mean it literally. After all, who hasn’t wished that a cold one would just appear out of nowhere?
Park It Over Here
You would think that a person who spends most of their day on the back of a horse wouldn’t have much need for a parking space, but apparently, they do. This “only in Texas” sign was created just for the horseback riding cowboys of the Lone Star State.
So if you’re looking for a place to park your horse or another ride simply follow the directions on this sign. We have a feeling that these signs are pretty common across the state, especially in rural farmlands.
