"Jack Ruby’s Saloon in the West End is new; things are soft this week, and it will host a grand opening on New Year’s Eve. The spot is owned by Joe Groves, the man behind Ellen’s in the same neighborhood, CultureMap Dallas reports. The idea is to address the lack of places to hear country bands play in Dallas proper (for the folks who are too chicken to head to Deep Ellum and check out Adair’s, presumably). It will feature live music most nights and serve lunch and dinner daily. The bar’s collection of whiskeys runs deep in honor of its namesake." - Courtney E. Smith
