| When Billy Baldwin's sports bar, Billy's Long Bar gained such
popularity that he could no longer hold the crowds, he did the
sensible thing and bought the Pizza Hut next door. He then
completely gutted and remodeled the Pizza Hut and connected the
two, calling the new room Hellfire. The Hellfire Room was only
open at night, with a totally different ambiance, and a decidedly
upscale look, as opposed to the more casual sports bar on the
other side. The door separating the two venues boasted glass
on which I carved a restoration-era vision of the mouth of Hell.
Inside the room were three large, arched panels depicting the
struggle between good and evil, based on works of the nineteenth
century artist, Gustave Dore. |
