The Esquire was one of the first country music bars to host African-American country singer Charley Pride decades ago. On one Saturday night, a few couples were dancing in front of the stage while a ball of mirrors not much bigger than a grapefruit swirled above them, and the lead singer of the 501 put references to the Spurs in a version of Tim McGraw while the great accordionist added an ensemble touch to the country sound. This place was also the musical home of jukebox queen Patsy Cline, as well as being Willie Nelson's workplace in his early days as a composer (he composed “Night Life” about his job at the bar while traveling from Pasadena). Nowhere in Texas can you experience the atmosphere of honky-tonk music more than in Dallas, where you're more likely to be hit by a Mercedes than when you find a real candy bar. On my Saturday night visit, a good portion of the crowd was made up of old school cowboys wearing Wranglers and straw hats, but one brave soul ventured down the stairs in a Hawaiian shirt and flip flops.
Many of the men's faces were reddened by the sun or drink, and were lined with wrinkles as deep as cotton grooves. To commemorate Memorial Day weekend, women were adorned with turquoise and sterling silver, and wore blouses adorned with the Old Glory symbol. Those who didn't know each other quickly became friends at the long tables covered with red and white checkered cloths. The twentysomethings were born and raised in San Antonio, and they know all the local country artists because they spend most of their weekends dancing. A black cowboy wearing a white hat sang “He Stopped Loving Her Today” in front of a rebel flag hung backstage. So, is there a cover charge to enter Garden Bistro Bar? The answer is no.
The bar does not require any kind of cover charge for entry. All you need to do is show up and enjoy yourself!.
