The Golden Light Cantina, a music nightclub next to the historic Golden Light Cafe on Route 66 in Amarillo, Texas, reopened Friday after being closed since Jan. 2 for a face-lift, according to the Amarillo Globe News.
The site, at 2209 S.W. Sixth Ave., has undergone renovations, including new bathrooms, extra seating, upgraded equipment and, most notably, the addition of a full-service bar. The venue always has served beer and wine, but its newly acquired liquor license will allow customers to select from a full range of alcoholic beverages. The GLC expanded its bar area to accommodate the new selections, and it has hired a new slate of staff skilled at serving the drinks.
The Golden Light Cantina has been serving up drinks and music since 1996.
The Golden Light Cafe has been operating next door since 1946 and is listed to the National Register of Historic Places.
