As the name indicates, this popular watering hole is set up in a double-wide trailer, replete with wood paneling, taxidermied animals and kitschy memorabilia as far as the eyes can see. But don't let all the quirkiness fool you, Double Wide also has a reputation of being a stellar place for live country music as well as for everything from rock to bluegrass and electronica. And though there's barely enough space to turn around (it is a trailer after all), it sure doesn't stop anyone from busting a move. In fact, audience participation in the form of dancing and singing is highly encouraged.
