You shouldn’t go to Bandera without visiting the Arkey Blues Silver Dollar Saloon. It’s the oldest continuously operating honky-tonk in Texas. They have live music every night, jam sessions on weekend afternoons and even inspired some of the most famous Texas Country artists, like Robert Earl Keen to write his song “Feelin’ Good Again.”
