Look at the spurs on those bar stools!

Bonfire Country Bar is under construction where Eliza’s Weepeats consignment used to be, 950 Elm St. No idea what exactly to expect from the 4,550 square foot space, but if it’s anything like its Portland, Maine, counterpart, you can count on a self-service beer wall, a la Central Ale House, and specials, like “Happier Bacon Hour,” which includes free bacon, $1 tacos and Bonfire whiskey, $2 fries and beer, and $3 burgers and wine seven days a week, from 4-7 p.m.  

Did we mention free bacon?

You can click here to take a 360-tour of the Portland layout, via the company’s Facebook page, complete with barstools that look like the lower half of a cowboy, and check out the food and drink menu here.

Here’s a link to the Manchester Facebook – which hints at a summer 2017 opening. Yee-haw!
