SAN ANGELO, TX - Alcohol sales are steady, and with a mixture of fun atmosphere and quality service, there are a number of bars that made a top grade in San Angelo.
One of these bars, Blaine's Pub, said their customers come to the bar for the live music.
“The live music is definitely what pulls people to Blaine’s,” Sturm said. He mentioned that Blaine’s acts as an "unofficial historical landmark" given how old the location is.
This weekend, Austin Meade will take the stage.
To see the full event list of live music coming to Blaine’s, go to their website where you can download the Blaine’s app for updates on live events.
Another top bar/restaurant to make it to the top is Twin Peaks. Many San Angeloans and visitors around the Concho Valley visit Twin Peaks for the sports bar atmosphere and multiple flat screen televisions.
In fact, a banner placed on the side of the serving area provides Dallas Cowboys fans the upcoming games to enjoy this season.
There are many reasons customers come to drink at Twin Peaks, but a sports fan would have sufficient resources to keep engaged given the multiple sports channels that play there.
In addition to these two bars, here are the other top ranking locations for alcohol sales in August. The list includes only venues with a mixed drink license and incorporates liquor, beer and wine sales at those locations.
