I bet I’ve driven by the Sweetwater Bar & Grill before sunrise more than two dozen times and thought, “I should just stop and take a photo.” I’ve eaten here several times and the food is excellent. In the heart of Agua Dulce, it perfectly fits the “stepping back in time” theme of this ranching community and Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park, just 1/2 mile from here. Built in 1979, this building feels like it could have bee built in 1879, and people still ride up on horses. If the sunrises at Vasquez Rocks weren’t so compelling, I think this place backlit by a beautiful rise would make a great photo.
