Whiskey River Dale Jr. – Whiskey River, actually Whisky River, is Dale Jr’s new bar in uptown Charlotte, NC near the Bobcats arena that just opened this week.

Here are pictures of the new Whiskey River Dale Jr. bar that features a mechanical bull for weekend action, cowhide covered chairs, and plenty of big screen TVs for watching NASCAR on Sundays.

The music playing at the Whiskey River bar is primarily southern rock with some country hits thrown in, exactly the kind of music Dale Jr. likes to listen to when he’s kicking back off the NASCAR track.

The waitresses are hot and the beer is cold at Whisky River, but Dale Jr. is only at his bar to enjoy himself, not to work. “People think I’m on the phone wheeling and dealing, ordering the beer and liquor and positioning everything like I want it. I’m not the one doing that,” Earnhardt said. “I’m racing in Phoenix, for crying out loud.”

The name for Whisky River comes from the Western-style saloon Junior built on his property just outside of Charlotte.

“I built that Western town right next to the creek on my property and we named it Whisky River after the Willie Nelson song,” Dale Jr. said. “When we started building this I was still with Bud, and we couldn’t name it that. We had a bunch of other names that were pretty cool, but when we parted ways with Bud, I was like, ‘We have to name it Whisky River. It’s such a cool name.’

“We had other names with Junior in it and they sounded cheesy. People want to go to Whisky River. They don’t want to go to Junior’s Bar or Junior’s Garage. That’s just not my style. I don’t wear my name on my belt. The name gives the bar a personality that I can’t give it.”

And that’s the latest news on the new Whiskey River Dale Jr. nightclub.
