Big Al & Redneck Steve's Beer Bucket is OPEN
Got the word from Jez last night and Marissa and Deb this morning... had to swing by, have a cold Corona, and get some visual proof for everyone. We'll be heading back later this evening, so there should be an update tomorrow, but here's proof that the 6 day turnaround was a success.
Some familiar faces were already present: Duke, Jez, ? and PlayaCountryBoy (Fantasea Dive):  The Bucket was already hopping with people at 3:30pm.  The new owners must be catering to a younger crowd:  Big Al selling new Beer Bucket T-shirts to pay off the bar.  Jim, MayaPlayaGrandma and Duke.  It's hard to get a decent photo in the bathroom, but here's one for redhairgirl1:

Opening Night Pictures
They said it couldn't be done but Jez and crew pulled off the seemingly impossible and reopened the Beer Bucket in less than 2 weeks after it changed hands. (If you know anything about the bureacracy of opening a bar here you'll know that this really is impossible.)
There were no crazy wigs in sight nor any dogs or donkeys. However they did have $10 peso beers! Now that would have been blogworthy! Here's some pics from Saturday night.      Some of you may recognize Rocky in the back. When asked what he thought of the new bar Rocky responded: "I like it." Wow! When asked what he thought of the new owners Rocky says: "They've got potential."   Penalipee & friends  Dogman/Andy  Oofta Dogman & Penalipee    Mayan Warrior dude & Redneck Steve  Mayan Warrior dude & Big Al  Mayan Warrior dude & Duke the manager of the new Beer Bucket

Thanks for the pictures Libby. It looks like they picked up right where Ron and Sharkey left off.
 Hats off to Jez for keeping the beer flowing

Hooray for shorter stools and I see all those new fans but the question is do they actually work?
Glad to see the crowd having fun.
