At the beginning of Road House Dalton is working as head bouncer at Bandstand when he is recruited by Frank to be the cooler of his Missouri bar Double Deuce.
Bandstand also doubled as the interior of the bar / strip club where Sam Elliot's character Wade is working when Dalton calls him.

The medieval belfry dates back to the 13th century. It's 83 meters tall (that's over 270 feet for us Yanks), and it takes 366 steps up the narrow staircase to reach the top.
