    This Bar Has Over $10000 In Dollar Bills On The Ceiling

    Bar ceiling covered with dollar bills in a creative bars and restaurants setting with next-level ideas.

    The place is called Turtle Rock Cafe in Napa. I talked to the owner and he said the place has been open since the 1960’s and the dollar bill thing started in the 80’s a practical joke on the original owner (current owners dad). Him and his good friend got into an argument so his friend stapled his “tip” to the ceiling. More and more people started doing the same and it became a tradition. Every 20 years, they take down all the bills and donate the funds to charity. The last time it happened the total was $20000!
