My bad on this one

Club Schmitz is closing, unfortunately today. I should have said something sooner. I knew it was going to close, never heard when till just now.

Is Club Schmitz four star dining, hell no. Is it a great place to have chicken fried steak and a beer or 6 on a Tuesday afternoon at two, hell yes. It is the type of place that if you use the word ambiance in any shape, form, or fashion you are being an idiot. Is it a dive, of course not I liked going there.

This may only be important to the area and maybe just a few people in Dallas, but it is important. I don't know exactly what time the doors are shutting, but if you are in Dallas right now head straight over. It is on Harry Hines underneath a new DART bridge beside a large chain gas station. It is a couple blocks south of Northwest Hwy.

I don't know all the details. Apparently corporate interests wanted the land and/ or the owners were ready. Anyway it is closing. And not for the better, but is the type of place that doesn't move well or have new owners try to carry on. It was definitely Club Schmitz and could only be Club Schmitz. Sometimes you had to park on the dirt in the back, was never built to be popular, but a place for the regulars to enjoy. Located on the other side of town from me so didn't get to go often, but always enjoyed the few times I did get to go.

Wherever you are take a moment to enjoy your local diner etc, in today's increasingly corporate world these places are dying out and tis shame. No chain restaurant can ever replace places like Club Schmitz.

Cheers and good night ya'll.
