| - The "Tree of Life" or as I call it "Listening Tree" is the most impressive and unique idea to me. Headphones dangling from a tree plays different music. I gave it a try and heard all kinds of music- hip hop, pop, country, kids music, stand up comedy, and more. At night it looks more pretty with the lights. Originally opened in 1953, this Bunkhouse was reopened after being revitalized by Tony Hsieh's Downtown Project.
The large outdoor area has a booth for eating and drinking in the bed of a 50's pick up truck. I found that and the decor so cool. There is a window with complete access to the bar and kitchen, if you chose to stay outside. The piano outside was colorful.
The food are not as many choices, but what is has, it does well. Slow-cooked turkey, pork, beef and vegetarian sloppy joes, hand and cheese sandwiches served with a bacon-jalapeno jam,Mac and cheese and deviled eggs. The menus focuses on a sort of down-home country style that serves the rustic character of the place. I had no complain of the food either.
This place is touted for indie-rock live music. There were 7 of us and we were planning to see who was interested in going inside to see the bands. It's $10 per ticket and they told us they will give us $30 total. If you decide to stay outside you can still hear the music. I couldn't stay as I had to volunteer tomorrow but my friends stayed. I love this place.
