“Texas Dives: Enduring Neighborhood Bars of the Lone Star State,” a book by local author Anthony Head, recently reached No. 1 on Amazon’s Hot New Releases under the category of Texas Travel Books.
The book — written by Head with photography by Kirk Weddle — chronicles and celebrates the resilience of local dive bars in Texas, including San Marcos’ own Showdown and Riley’s Tavern in nearby Hunter.
The publisher’s summary on Amazon calls “Texas Dives” a “witty and sympathetic portrayal…sure to become a bucket-list book for general readers, fans of Texana, and almost anyone who has ever ducked around to the corner pub for a quick drink.”
