A small neighborhood bar in a decrepit looking building with tarped roof. To one side of door is faded sign "REGAL".
Section of exterior wall of wooden building, with weatherboards recently repainted except for a rectangle painted with faded advertising. Text: "DIXIE TAVERN - SANDWICHES & SEAFOOD". Below artwork depicting a glass of beer. TEXT: "REGAL keg BEER - With FROZEN GLASSES".
Illuminated analog clock on wall. In center is artwork of the face and hand of a man holding a glass of beer. The man has long black hair and a pencil moustache, and is smiling with enthusiasm. He wears a 17th century style soft broad-brimmed hat with a large plume, like a Musketeer. Text below: "REGAL BEER".

@Infrogmation @noladon FYI, some folks who are interested in old advertising signs on buildings use the term "ghost signs" and will happily find posts like this if you add hashtags such as

@jaeclectic @Infrogmation @noladon Exactly as I've just done 🙏🏽

I don't have anything from New Orleans on the site, but a search did throw up this post with a 'faux' ghost sign: https://ghostsigns.co.uk/2012/07/faux-ghostsigns/

@Infrogmation @noladon restored sign on Snake & Jake’s , I have some very fuzzy memories of that place from the 90s :)

@thomas_klopf @noladon

Fuzzy memories seem most appropriate for this notorious dive bar.

I've only been inside a couple of times, years ago, when it was a stop with second line parades I was playing with.

During Prohibition, American Brewing Company officially made soft drinks and "near beer" (as no-alc was called at the time), but Federal raids showed they were also illegally producing real beer during some of that time.
