The room

An old Route 151 room, gutted and made new.

For about ten years this was Margaritas. The Don Lupe sign went up in the spring of 2025, the inside was completely renovated, and the doors opened on October 2, 2025, as Blue Ridge Life reported at the time.

The first weeks had no bar. Now there are margaritas, a michelada and beer alongside the aguas frescas.
