Tin Man Airway — Restaurant in El Paso

Looking for a quick spot to grab a beer before checking into my hotel, I headed here. The layout is quite simple, with two long rows of high-top metal seating—not the most comfortable for hanging out. The place was slow, with only four other patrons, and I found myself having to approach the bartender directly to place my order. I later overheard her talking about Firestone beer offers, which might have influenced my choice if I’d known earlier.
