The Black Hills Saloon

I went here after a wedding that was right down the street and my cousin wanted to take the maid of Honor out for a drink after the wedding.

This place is your typical biker bar.  The parking was full of motorcycles and pick-up trucks.  The building looked like it was left over from an old west movie set.  The inside was equally decked out.  It had a jukebox loaded with classic rock and modern country rock.  On the walls hung biker paraphernalia and I think I saw a toy six shooter.

As you walk in the door the local tradition is if the dog that is sitting on the stool near the door barks you get a free beer.  I think there are also side bets about it at the bar.  Right as we walked in the door one of the locals bought our whole group drinks.  Everyone was immediately friendly and someone later on bought the whole bar a round of jello shots.

Our party was sucked into the "Punching Bag Game".  This, if you don't know, is a punching bag that drops down from above.  Then you punch it as hard as you can.  The machine then scrolls up numbers until it reaches how hard you punched it.  Image after a few drinks your mom shadow boxing with Eye of the Tiger in the back ground then punching the bag.

I will definitely go back to say hi to my new friends when I go back to Daytona.

This place frightened me.  Despite the fact that my boyfriend is a biker, a bar that catered to that demographic didn't seem like a place I would enjoy - especially in a dress and heels.

Appearances are sometimes deceiving.  A regular bought beers for the nine of us who'd walked in following a wedding nearby, and another handed out jello shots.  The owner gave us coupons for a free drink on our next trip.

Despite preconceived notions, the bathroom was actually clean.

Owners and patrons were friendly, and the video punching bag was a big draw.
