Historic Hooch's 66 Bar and Grill is for sale in Topak Arizona

Hooch's 66 Bar and grill in the above photo is for sale . Topock, according to the internet has a population of 2 people and another site said zero living there. Topock is the location of the Old Trails Arch Bridge built in 1914 which is famous in movie history. It was featured in the film starring a young Henry Fonda in THE GRAPES OF WRATH as shown below:
and then featured in EASY RIDER in the opening credits with actors Dennis Hopper and Henry's son Peter Fonda 

driving their "hogs" (motorcycles) across it.
There is actually over 2,000 people in the area but they all live north of Topock at Golden Shores nearby. Topock is located between Lake Havasu City and Bullhead City and is across the Colorado River from Needles, California. These mountains are the Needles. 
Now Hooch's Bar and Grill looks like a very nice restaurant and bar. Here is the entrance 
Looks kind of exotic and cheery and fairly clean.
Here is the first dining and bar area and another angle. 
It's a huge place. Here is a closeup of the bar. 
There is more then one bar area in a different room. Check this out. This hallway connects you to the Peaky Blinders room 
Here is the Peaky Blinders room. Apparently the owners were fond of that British tv show and have the photos of the characters on the wall.
and another angle 
They also have a very cool Billiards room and bar
Looks really comfortable 
and one more shot for the effect. 
There is an outside area for concerts which looks pretty cool. Here is a photo of the band stand 
and how the outside area looks like during a concert. 
It is a pretty cool outdoor space to hold musical events or maybe belly dancing like this by Nataly Hay:

Or this by Didem Kinali 
Such an art form and I have not seen speedy shimmy's like that since my Dad started a 5 horsepower Johnson boat motor on the St. John's River in Florida or when he showed me how the paint shaker at the hardware store worked. God bless both these athletic dancers. It should be submitted as an Olympic Sport because it is more entertaining to watch and requires more athleticism then synchronized swimming.... A true art, sport, and dance form.....Now Hooch's 66 grill and bar has some other outdoor seating as well 
Now this bar and grill is like an Oasis out in the middle of the desert and it probably gets a lot of business because people are traveling on vacation and need to make a pit stop, get something to eat, drink etc. or just a place to relax and unwind for a moment from a long drive to their ultimate destination. Now I suggest that the new name of the place be called TOPAK SHAKUR'S 66 Bar and Grill because when I looked up TOPAK on wikipedia the Native American Mojave pronunciation was TUUPAK. So get your kicks on Route 66
