Travis, the Hollywood Guru, has taken an ordinary rectangle building and turned it into a hometown bar. Using part of the original burned out Hollywood Bar and adding to both sides, a customer feels like they are going back in time. It's cozy and comfortable, but you will just have to imagine the gunshot holes in the ceiling and the blood on the floor. A separate dining area gives families the opportunity to be away from the two beautiful pool tables, the actual bar, dance floor and band area.

Customers can sit at the bar with its original iron footrail, or at the window, gazing out on to the spectacular rock outcroppings that Dolores has, or watch a mountain lion on the hillside. What a delight. Opens for your pleasure from 10 a.m. Thank you, Travis, for bringing Dolores back to life. Friday night saw all the original Hollywood crowd, plus a lot of new faces. Was that the mayor of Dolores? You can catch them on Facebook for their Friday night entertainment information.
