The Boar's Nest is a fictional local restaurant and tavern appearing in the television series The Dukes of Hazzard and its various spinoff films and other productions, and the movie Moonrunners.
[2] In the 2007 made-for-TV movie, The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning, she was depicted as being conservatively-dressed until she sought a job there, adopting her trademark "sexy attire" to gain the approval of bartender Hughie Hogg.
[4] Cast member Ben Jones, who played mechanic Cooter in the series, explained: We had an occasional piece at the end of some episodes called “Boss Hogg's Speed Trap", a musical ending that featured Nashville stars who had been stopped in Hazzard's speed trap and had to perform at the Boar's Nest in lieu of a huge fine.
The fictional bar was also described as resembling the well-known honky-tonk, Gilley's, in Pasadena, Texas, which was used in the 1980 John Travolta film, Urban Cowboy.
[6][better source needed] During later filming of the TV series, the Boar's Nest was one of the standing sets at the Valencia Oaks ranch, near Los Angeles, California.
