Back in the days of Bonnie and Clyde, the town of Clifton built a city jail to house its occasional ruffians and drunks.

For forty years, the property served as the city jail for Clifton, holding the drunks and the disorderly town folk until morning. The interior is essentially a cleaned up, well decorated version of the original, so if you appreciate history and authenticity, you’ll be enamored by the space. The heavy steel cell doors are the same ones that locked in the prisoners; only a few bars had to be replaced in the restoration.
Proprietor Kaye Johnson has transformed an abandoned city jail from a cold, stony ruin into a warm and alluring refuge. Where town drunks and ruffians were once forced to spend the night in captivity, you’ll willingly lock yourself in and enjoy the thoughtful comforts of this special little corner of Texas.
