Lakewood Landing, one of Dallas' essential dive bars, recently lost a good one.
Lakewood Landing's longtime bartender Roger Nelson, a fixture in the Dallas bar scene, died on Oct. 8. He started working as a bartender when he was 18 years old, landing a job at Boss Cafe on Lower Greenville Avenue in the late '80s.
"He saved my life," Rossell says."I got really sick, and I had to have a liver transplant, and it came to that point where it was around Christmas and they sent me home. There was nothing else they could do." "He could have thrown me out in the first five minutes," Harrell says."But he stayed with me on all my shifts for a month and taught me how to bartend. I've been working here since."
