Peterson's at Round Rock Tavern

Total dive bar with three drafts, bottles, and, well stock. Lots of gambling PC's that pay out. According to BT (Bartender) the highest single pay out was $9400.00! There's 3 rooms and a kitchen, also 2 pool tables, Texas Hold 'em and Black Jack tables, which get attention on Friday nights, which happens to also be steak night.  There is a stage for live music (on Saturday nights) and 2 dart boards.  You will also find an Atm and cigarette machine.  Yes, smoking is permitted.  They have a kitchen which opens at 1700 daily. I have not sampled the food, but, BT assures me it is good.  Apparently, the lady who cooks for them also has a catering business.  I enjoyed my visit here, and, had to ask about the clientele.  According to BT, the crowd is laid back and friendly, presenting in a non-violent atmosphere.  I can hang with that, just don't like the second hand smoke.  Much to my surprise they do have a non-smoking room that has seven gambling machines.  I am not much of a gambler.  I am not the type who likes to give away his money, but, occasionally I will take a small chance.  I bought a card from the BT and put $20 on it, which comes with a free $ every 24 hours, but, you must be present to earn it.  I sat down and played my 20 bucks, and, won $60!  So, I stopped.  $40 profit, means I drink for free!!  I spent time at the bar and mingled with the customers who ranged from mid to late 30's to 80's.  There were a couple cool biker dudes in there also.  Overall, it had the atmosphere of a VFW.  Being ex-military, I can dig the groove.  They open at 1100, not, 0100 as the sign states.  This place is close, and, worth it if I get a hankering for an afternoon beer.  

Be warned:  Max pay out in a 24 hour period is $500.00 due to tax issues.  So, if you win a couple grand, expect to have to return multiple times to collect.
