No matter the season, the iconic Austin dive bar off Justin Lane is filled with snow globes, Christmas trees and strings of red and green lights. But the story behind how this decor came to be is always changing.
She remembers there was a story back then about why the decorations were always there.
“I’ve heard a tragic story about how the owner’s daughter died on Christmas or Christmas Eve,” he said. “He’s dealt with it by making the decor of the bar Christmas all year long.”Then, we spotted a table of people wearing Lala’s T-shirts. That seemed pretty official, so we went up to them. The group, also regulars, laughed at the question and shared a less interesting tale: The original bar owner was a woman who loved Christmas. She put the decorations up and just never took them down.
So, let’s review: An ex-lover. A tragic death. Just a general love of Christmas. A son killed at war. On the wall across from the bar, there’s a framed black and white photo of a woman with short, dark hair. Her eyes squint behind a pair of cat-eyed glasses as she smiles in front of a window painted with the words “Lala’s Little Nugget.” Her name was Frances, and she started Lala’s back in the 1970s.
