After decades of operation in Llano County, Fuzzy’s Corner has permanently closed. The legendary watering hole, at the corner of TX 29 and RR 1431 in Buchanan Dam, had its last day of business on Friday, Feb. 27.

According to bar manager Amanda Barnett, 81-year-old Fuzzy’s operator Rayford Burnham chose not to renew his lease on the building due to health reasons at the request of his family. The property’s owner then reportedly sold the lot, including the building, after Burnham’s decision.
“Every one of my customers, they don’t know what they meant to me,” Barnett told DailyTrib. “I’ll truly miss them all. We had a loyal, dedicated crowd and I want to thank everyone who has supported us.”
The exact future of the lot and the old Fuzzy’s building is still unknown, but Barnett said that the bar will almost certainly not be reopened based on her understanding of the new ownership.

Fuzzy’s had been at its final location since the early 70s. Highland Lakes area locals often refer to the TX 29/RR 1431 intersection as “Fuzzy’s Corner,” thanks to the bar. The Fuzzy’s Corner name stretches further back though, to when the bar was first opened in the early 50s. Its original location was in the corner of the Pinkie’s Grocery building that was at the TX 16/TX 29 intersection in Llano. The name “Fuzzy” refers to the original owner, John Thomas “Fuzzy” Walker.
“The first beer I ever drank in a bar anywhere was at Fuzzy’s Corner,” Barnett said.
The bar manager said that the final day of business for Fuzzy’s was an all-night party, ending at around 2 a.m. when every ounce of beer in the house was gone.
