Dale Jrs Pit Stop

This place has great potential! It’s good to see someone setting up a nice spot in Madison.
The owner is a cool guy and has many updates in store for this bar. He really seems to thrive on customer feedback which is always a great sign indicating an awesome business owner.
I’m really looking forward to watching the improvements!
They have a hula night already and he mentioned starting a trivia night too. (Love it!)
Right now, no credit cards accepted.

I believe I have found my new Madison area dive bar! One of my good friends inherited her grandpappies house up there and were always looking for a good place to throw back PBR/​Miller Lite (that isn’t a giant mall-​area chain restaurant) and Dale’s is a friendly place that fits the bill.
Its been open less than a week and they don’t have their taps installed yet, but you can go put in a word for what beer you want to see on draught and enjoy $ 2 bottles, a jukebox and free pool!
Upcoming features include a rooftop bar, philly cheesesteaks sourced from the Porter Road butcher shop, karaōke and theme nights! (80’s and Nascar races on 3 or 4 nice flat screens) I’m fairly certain once I am enjoying a philly cheesesteak on a roof with my cheap beer this will be a 4 or 5 star joint!

ok, for being open 4 days this is what I came away with
1) there are a lot of plans and forthcoming improvements that sound awesome
2) parking a motorcycle on the roof is generally frowned upon by codes
3) not all flashing lights on Gallatin Road are police
4) I have plans to be back there again fairly soon
If you’re looking for the place, headed away from Nashville it’s right past Jenna’s Adult Toy Emporium on the next block, it is *not* the bar behind Jenna’s that advertises on Jenna’s sign some times.
The place — hubcaps across most of the ceiling, 50 cent pool (although it was free when we were there), 5 well positioned TVs, 1 well stocked beer fridge, a pretty nice bar, and a lot of potential.
At the moment, the bar is — kind of nondescript… it’s been open for 4 days (as of my visit). They didn’t choose to put a bunch of fake «this is from our crowd» here — I personally hate when a bar opens and it’s decorated as if it’s been around for a long time and people love it… no, you earn that… and Dale Jr’s is earning that.
As a note, it’s not affiliated with Nascar, although the owner will show, on demand, his pictures where he once sported a mullet in a tux, so perhaps a *bit* of NASCAR is there. The closest to NASCAR this place was was a Bud Light sign (I think) that had a stock car on it.
I look forward to the day when NASCAR sends him a threatening C&D letter so he can frame it next to his birth certificate.
Ok, so I like the place, I had a good time there, I see potential.
The things I would like changed about it:
Bathrooms — fix the men’s room door so you can lock it right
Ventilation /​scrubber
Parking (it’s on his plan) — there will be parking around back, right now it’s out front
Yeah, go out and claim this bar before it’s taken… I like it…
Bring cash though (at leas tin the first couple of weeks) as the credit card machine is not there… Also, if you’ve got a hankering for wine coolers, he inherited a bunch of them and was trying to get it down from fully stocked 7 different varieties to 1 or none. He might cut a wine cooler guzzling deal.
Right now it’s a beer bar but I think he said he’s getting his LL soon.
