Rhonda Nail, the matriarch of Dallas, bars credits her patrons and staff for longevity.
Michael HogueThis week marks the 50th anniversary of a classic local dive bar. The Dallasite has had three different locations in East Dallas, but there’s been one constant over those five decades: owner Rhonda Nail.
Nail, an Oak Cliff native, bought the Dallasite with her husband James Nail in 1973. It was then located on Gaston Avenue near Fitzhugh. At the time they married, she also owned the Office Lounge, in the spot that’s now The Goat. Nail then moved the bar to its current location on the corner of Bryan Street and Fitzhugh, catty-corner to the venerable Jimmy’s Food Store. The building used to house Hall’s Hobby shop.
There’s plenty of seating around the rectangular central bar. People are dancing, playing darts, playing pool, or hanging out with libations on the spacious patio. There’s a shuffleboard table that’s not quite level. The puck moves a lot faster throwing from the south to the north, but that adds to the challenge and the charm.“I could tell you stories for hours,” Nail says. “But what I really want to talk about is my staff. Without them, I’m nothing.
