The Greenwood

We checked out The Greenwood after dining at Let's Eat. It was a great way to end a very enjoyable and unique meal, as The Greenwood is also very unique. We drank a few beers outside, watched the sky darken and listened to a freight train roll by. It was a perfect way to end the day.

We did sort of wish it was Saturday, as that's when the live music plays. On [this] Friday, it's just the juke box, which was fine as I think it made for a more casual drinking experience.

We'll try to plan our next trip to Bluff Dale on Saturday night!

Update: I just took a closer look at one of my photos. On the hours sign it says Live Music Friday and Saturday, so not sure why there was none tonight.

You think you've been to a real saloon, complete with a true Texas feel and great music? Not 'till you've been to The Greenwood, cowboys and cowgirls.

Our friends introduced us to this place after eating down the street at Let's Eat. We were the obvious out-of-towners when we walked in (my picture snapping helped that though). The inside was decorated with old and Western artifacts, with none of the decor really matching and placed randomly all over the walls and floors.

Outside, you step onto a gravel and concrete area decorated with random patio sets, rusted out swings and picnic tables. A big concrete slab sits in front of the stage for everyone to dance on. The night we were there, the band blasted out covers of Dwight Yoakam, Brooks & Dunn and old country classics.

They only serve beer, wine and sodas so don't expect anything fancy. They also provide popcorn if you get the munchies.

The bathrooms are the coolest thing evah, made to look like an updated outhouse. The sink looks like an old outside faucet and the sink is a big silver bucket.

There's another huge outdoor area off to the side, separated by a fence with a doorway; no one really went over there, but I suppose it catches overflow on busy nights and when the place is rented out.

We had a BLAST sipping on beer, dancing with friendly strangers and cheering on the band. It's definitely a Texas gem that everyone should visit at least once.

This bar is not for everyone, but it is MY kinda place. Rustic, rural, raunchy [a bit] and down right REAL. Service is good, beer and wine only. Good live music [ not sure when - weekends- i think] . Good times and good fun. try it...boots and jeans ideal attire but they accept almost anyone i would guess.  GREAT place to be pre- or post "LET'S EAT" in Bluffdale.
