It's a cool place with lots of beers on tap and a minimal amount of bar food, but they're non-compliant regarding TABC signage. Common sense says it's a 51% location, which I verified on the TABC Inquiry web site before going, so I left my handgun at home.
They have no signage at all as far as I could determine. Absolutely nothing outside by the main entrance, nothing inside the door, nothing behind the bar. I even walked back outside for another visual check.
Today, I checked texas3006.com and a post from 2016 found a 51% sign inside. If it's still posted near the kitchen entrance at the far end of the bar like stated here, I missed it.
I did call the local TABC branch (Agent Hamilton, really nice and courteous lady) who said the TABC would send an auditor there to make sure the Ginger Man is in compliance with signage requirements.
Don't get me wrong - I like the Ginger Man, and don't want them in trouble. But I also don't want a LTC holder to get in a hassle for being in a 51% location. I know, it would be defense to prosecution without the proper signage, but it would still be a pain in the rear to have to deal with it.
