Since I do not have a picture of the bras, I will let you see them on tripadvisor   set of photos.

And this tripadvisor   will show that the bar is open and running as usual.

Great Barbeque, and a fun bar...if on a trip a good place to eat.


"It wasn’t quite like leaving my heart in San Francisco – but yes, I did leave my bra in Devil’s Elbow. (My poor parents. Really.)

'“Tougher than boiled mule wang.” This is one of the expressions I learn at the Elbow Inn. This should give you an idea of the sort of place I’m talking about.

"Red from Boondocking with Solar had sent me a list of his Route 66 must-stops, and one was the Elbow Inn Bar and BBQ Pit at Devil’s Elbow, MO. Seems the name “Devil’s Elbow” comes from a curve in Big Piney River that created a lot of log jams during logging back in the day. The bar itself occupies the very same building that housed the Munger Moss Sandwich Shop, originally opened along Route 66 in 1929. They still smoke their own meat and serve up good BBQ at decent prices here, and the place is a regular stop for bikers, army types from the nearby base, and Route 66 travelers.

"I’d read about the “unique ceiling decorations”, so as soon as I walk in, I look up – and found a sea of bras. Yes, bras.

"Big, small, lacy, plain, colorful… the whole gamut. In most cases, the bras are signed by their former owners, with Route 66 notes and the like. And since Missouri is one of the few states where smoking is still allowed in public places, the bras up there are slowly being smoked. It reminds me of the fish smoking shacks back home on the east coast, all the fish hanging from the ceilings… Come on: I *have* to leave a “pictureRoute66.com” bra – I mean, really!!" ~ Route 66 News
