Opened today by State & Allen's brain trust, Donkey's a wood-and-corrugated steel-paneled "Texas Sports Saloon" that's traded swinging wooden doors for four enormous garage maws that unite the L-shaped patio with the island bar-dominated interior; 18 monster flat screens blast games to every nook, including a 3D TV with viewing glasses, plus three that swing to face outside, so your "Dez Nutz" fan club'll have plenty of room to hang out. All hooch comes with a chilled custom-handled canning jar, including the 6 drafts (Shock Top to Z'bock) and 15 cans (Shiner to Missoula's Trout Slayer); they're still deciding if the lone house cocktail, Donkey Punch, will contain vodka, gin, or rum, though when a donkey punches you, it doesn't matter if it's from Russia, England, or...Barbados. Inspired partly by a grandfather's Snyder, TX truck stop, the carefully considered menu starts with apps like chorizo/Oaxaca cheese-stuffed smoked jalapenos and corn bread & chili studded w/ house-smoked brisket, while mains range from a bacon-wrapped Kobe dog, to skillet-cooked steak frites w/ smoky succotash & chipotle butter, to the challah-bunned "Stacked Up Texas Burger", on which you may pile as many 4oz patties as you want (here's hoping you don't become a Backed Up Texas Burger).
