Valentine Texas Bar — Restaurant in Valentine

I had the most Anthony Bourdain experience of my life at this bar. It’s 8pm, pour down rain, and starting to get dark. I remember the signs from Marfa for the bar that’s 2 miles from the Prada store in Marfa… “Valentine Bar” and I see it up on my left so I turn in. I ran to the front door to avoid the storm, but the door is locked—- “dang”, as I turn around I hear a friendly voice of someone I would come to know as Jason say… Oh sorry, come on in!
