Yellowhammer’d: Gallette’s newest piece of decor is massive

As one of the most popular Tuscaloosa bars, Gallette’s is known for being one of the go-to spots on game day and just about every other weekend in the Druid City.

And now, the bar which has been open since 1976, is paying homage to its most famous drink with a 5-foot tall sculpture of a Yellowhammer beverage in the iconic yellow Gallette’s cup.

Matthew Simmons, a local artist who works on commission only, brought the signature cup to life in a big way. You can see all of Matthew’s work on his website MattTheMaker.com as well as his various social media channels under the name “Matt the Maker”

With the Crimson Tide on a by-week, there might be less Yellowhammers poured today, but those headed to the matchup against LSU next week at home should be aware — the massive cup is only for looking at.
