History[]
Background[]
The Tipsy Bison served as a bar in Jackson but came into disuse after the Cordyceps brain infection outbreak. Eventually, Maria and her group restored it, along with all of Jackson, in their efforts to start a new community in the town. By 2023, it functioned as any pre-outbreak bar did, having fresh liquor that even well-connected smugglers in Boston like Joel struggled to obtain.[1]
Events of HBO's The Last of Us[]
In the winter of 2023, Tommy brought Joel here to drink and catch up, the pair having not seen each other for an extended period of time. The pair conversed about numerous things, from Tommy's time with the Fireflies, to Joel's relationship with Tess. However, Joel cut the conversation short to focus on his request for Tommy to join him in an escort mission concerning Ellie. Tommy declined the offer, insistent he had to stay in Jackson to care for his wife Maria and their unborn child. Angered, Joel stormed out of the bar, leaving Tommy to drink alone.[1]
