The Saloon from Outlaw Posse

Outlaw Posse is a Western by Mario Van Peebles. This is the review from the saloon featured in the film: You first look at what makes the place unique. Second, you recognize the feel you get when you walk in the doors, and in this one, you forget that you’re in the Old West altogether. You see, this saloon is no quiet, dusty hole-in-the-wall—this place is alive, as if a New Orleans second line parade hijacked a saloon. The full band plays, and the dance floor shakes with laughter and joy. The crowd? A mix of Black cowboys, drifters, and wanderers of all backgrounds, bound together by the rhythm and shared grins. Sure, there’s an upstairs for "business," but the real action is down stairs, where people come to find community, form teams, and maybe catch the eye of a crush across the room. It’s a rare thing in the West: a saloon where unity, not whiskey-soaked misery, rules the night.
