As legend has it...
The Roadrunner was established in 1964 and its first bartender was only six years old. When the original owner arrived with his new liquor license and a celebratory bottle of whiskey, he appointed the only non-drinker present at the time to pour the first drinks. The Roadrunner was also once so inundated with water that they changed the name to the “New River Yacht Club.” (The original sign is still hanging. Come in and try to find it!)

Fun Fact:
The large Roadrunner sign you see on the roof is a replica of the one seen in the movie “Beyond the Law” starring Charlie Sheen. The original Roadrunner can be seen on the fence in the backyard.
