When it comes to my favorite bar on the planet, there is no question what it is. It's Adair's Saloon in Dallas.

In the heart of Deep Ellum, it's a beer joint. Beer and shots. They serve food, too. Burgers and cheeseburgers. And that would be all.

The music is predominantly country with an emphasis on Texas Country, sometimes classic rock and at times a dab of Tejano. Anything Texas-oriented goes.

The ambience is second to none. The only bar that comes close is The Deli in Norman, Okla. The difference between Adair's and The Deli is that the latter is a place where college kids drink cheap beer from red cups and listen to terrific live music.

The Deli is dark and smoky, like a bar should be, but it's a college joint. Love it, but it is what it is. The space is owned by kids.

Adair's is a Texas beer joint in the heart of the city, filled with urban dwellers. Not rednecks. But it's not a yuppie bar either. The best way I can describe the place is that it's a beer and live music person's bar for adult Texans.

Jake Dakota and I have closed down this place many times, and we've gathered several funny stories from this place. My favorite centers on this dude we thought was a total redneck who kept getting hit on by every hot chick in the bar.

Like fools, Dakota and I got a ride home (all of three blocks away) from this guy, and it wasn't the smartest decision because this dude should not have been driving. Alas, death seemed like a better option than a DUI, and I wasn't behind any wheel.

We get back to the apartment, and we had one woman there with us, who happened to be a colleague of ol' Jake's if I remember correctly. Like every other chick in the bar, she was smitten with this Ford 150-driving redneck Marine fellow.

Being the nice guy that he is, Jake allowed her to drag him home with us. Long story short, somebody tossed something important into some bushes at the base of my building, and this guy spent the next couple of hours digging for it.

I know. This isn't a very good story on paper, but here's the punch line.

This "redneck" dude who was a Marine? We all got to talking on the balcony. No, this dude has an MBA from Duke and was a 6-figure guy at some Dallas Big 6 office. That was very typical for Adair's.

Alas, I wouldn't mind being at Adair's right now, and I think I'll make it a regular feature on ryanwelton.com to feature cool bars. In this clip, the singer is playing an odd one for a country group: "Only The Lonely" by The Motels.

And, believe me. This place is generally packed body to body by 11 p.m. The beer is $2 a can. You hold up a couple of ones, they hand you a beer. It's a beautiful thing.
