Libro: Texas Dive Bar Encyclopedia

A road trip through the great dive bars of Texas.
When the iconic Dry Creek Café in Austin was set to close, writer Raf Miastkowski stopped in for a final round—and found a calling. Over the next three years, he crisscrossed the state, visiting hundreds of dive bars from the Panhandle to the Gulf Coast, documenting a vanishing piece of Texas culture.
The Texas Dive Bar Encyclopedia is the result of more than 25,000 miles on highways and gravel roads, a journey into jukebox-lit saloons, dusty beer joints, and backroad honky-tonks. Part travelogue, part cultural record, this book captures the grit, charm, and strange beauty of Texas dive bars.
