A brown bear, a cowboy boot lamp, ceiling canoes, an abundance of wood and a Native American statue, are all part of the rustic theme in this two-barred joint, laden with pool tables, shuffleboards and small tables. While the bar hasn't prepared anything special for inauguration weekend - besides an extended hour deal - they expect a huge crowd, of both regulars and passerbys.
